Instructions
Cooking Instructions
- In a baking dish mix all the marinade ingredients and coat the chicken thighs in it. Marinade chicken for at least a half-hour before cooking; you can also marinate for a few hours or overnight (8 hours). The chicken thighs will taste better the longer they are marinated.
- When the chicken thighs are done marinating, bake in a 350-degree F oven for 25-35 minutes. You can turn once halfway through. Allow cooling 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
The safest way to check for doneness is by using a meat thermometer; the internal temperature of the chicken should be 165° Fahrenheit (75° Celsius).
