Good boneless skinless chicken thigh recipes are a must in our household. We always have several packages on hand in the fridge or freezer, ready to go for dinners any night of the week. They are great for such a wide variety of things from simple dinners like Ninja Foodi Chicken Thighs (Air Fryer) to more elevated dishes like Marry Me Chicken Orzo and One Pan Chicken with Mushroom and Asparagus.

The spice blend on these is made from things most everyone would have on hand in a well stocked spice cabinet and the hands on time for this is 5 minutes or less. This chicken thigh recipe could not be easier! And the result is JUICY and FLAVORFUL.

This would be great for meal prep, as these well seasoned chicken boneless skinless thighs go with just about anything. I suggest Lemon Butter Rice or Hearts of Palm Salad.

Ingredients

Chicken Thighs: This recipe is for boneless skinless chicken thighs, and the cook time reflects that. Chicken thighs are more forgiving than chicken breasts and will stay juicy and are more flavorful.
Spices: The spice blend here is a blend of pantry staples including salt, black pepper, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and italian seasoning.
Oil: I used avocado oil, but any neutral oil would be fine.

Recipe Tips

If you want a bit of extra crispiness and brown color on your chicken, feel free to broil them after the cook time is up. Simply turn the broiler on high and cook for approximately 3-5 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
After seasoning, you can marinate the chicken in the fridge for up to 24 hours in the fridge before baking in the oven.
