Baked boneless, skinless chicken thighs are inexpensive, delicious, and easy to cook. A simple spice rub is all you need to add tons of flavors before baking them in the oven. The results? Juicy, tender chicken that your whole family will love.

I love chicken thighs. Crispy cast-iron chicken thighs are one of my go-to staples but when I want something even faster and easier, I turn to baked boneless skinless chicken thighs.

They’re nearly impossible to mess up, a lot more forgiving than chicken breasts and they cook up so quickly!

Perfect for a busy weeknight and also great for meal prep!

How Long To Bake Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs?

The best part about baked boneless, skinless chicken thighs is that they cook quickly and are super forgiving! Even if you overcook them a bit, they will still be moist and juicy.

I like to cook them at 400ºF for twenty minutes or until they reach an internal temperature of 165ºF.

You can also make boneless, skinless chicken thighs on the stovetop in a pan. You can learn how by watching the video below or visiting my YouTube channel.

Tips for The Best Baked Chicken Thighs

  • Pull the chicken out of the fridge about 20 minutes before you begin cooking. This will take the chill off of the chicken and help it to cook more evenly.
  • Trim off any excess piece of fat. This just makes for a more enjoyable eating experience once the chicken is cooked up.
  • Pat the chicken dry before seasoning with the oil and spice rub. This will stop the chicken from steaming and help it to create a nice crispy edge (even without the skin!)
  • Use a rimmed baking sheet (lined with foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup!). This will prevent any of the chicken juices from running off the pan and getting all over the oven.

    Delicious! I used breasts since my family doesn’t like thighs and these were the juiciest chicken breasts I have ever cooked in the oven. I usually over bake them and end up with dry chicken. Thank you!

    I was going to use the chicken thighs for chicken soup, but then didn’t have enough time. I ended up googling “skinless boneless chicken thighs” and saw this receipe.
    It came out delicious !! I used olive oil not avacado since I do not have any . My husband insisted to save the receipe he really enjoyed it and so did I. I am going to share it with my kids. Thank you !
