Juicy boneless skinless chicken thighs baked in the oven at 400°F for 30 minutes with bold spices like smoked paprika, garlic powder, and cumin. Fast, flavorful, and perfect for weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale

2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt (or ½ tsp of any other salt)

¼ teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon ground cumin

¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place the chicken thighs in a large bowl.

2. Add the olive oil and spices. Use your hands to coat the chicken.

3. Arrange the seasoned thighs in a single layer on a rimmed baking dish.

4. Brush any remaining oil/spice mix over the chicken.

5. Bake until thighs are cooked through and reach an internal temp of 165ºF, about 30 minutes.

6. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

If the thighs vary in size, cook until the largest is done.

Smoked paprika adds essential flavor — don’t skip it!

Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for 3-4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.

Reheat gently to prevent drying out, either in the microwave at 50% power or in a 350°F oven.
