  3. Bake the Chicken: Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear.

Recipe Tips

  • Check the Temperature: Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) for perfect doneness.
  • Avoid Overcrowding: Don’t overcrowd the baking dish to ensure the chicken cooks evenly and crisps up nicely.
  • Let It Rest: Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes after baking. This helps keep it juicy.
  • Adjust Seasoning: Feel free to tweak the garlic and onion seasoning to your taste. Add more if you love bold flavors!
  • Use Bone-In Thighs: Bone-in thighs stay juicier and more flavorful than boneless ones, making the dish even better.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers

  • Refrigerate: Place leftover chicken thighs in an airtight container in the fridge. They can be stored for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze: Wrap leftover chicken thighs tightly in plastic wrap and place it in a freezer-safe bag. Freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat, thaw in the refrigerator overnight before warming.
  • Reheating: To reheat, place leftover chicken thighs in the oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes or until heated through. You can also microwave them for about 2-3 minutes.
