    Cooking Tips for Baked Chicken Thigh Recipes

    What Cut of Chicken Works Best for Baking?

    Chicken thighs are ideal for baking as they stay juicy and tender, thanks to their slightly higher fat content compared to other cuts.

    How Can I Ensure Crispy Skin on Baked Chicken Thighs?

    Pat the skin dry before seasoning, and bake at a higher temperature for the first few minutes to render the fat and crisp the skin.

    What Temperature Should Chicken Thighs Be Cooked To?

    Chicken thighs should be baked until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to ensure they are cooked through and safe to eat.

    How Long Does It Take to Bake Chicken Thighs?

    Typically, chicken thighs should be baked for about 35-45 minutes at 400°F (200°C), depending on their size and the accuracy of your oven.

    Can I Bake Chicken Thighs From Frozen?

    It's best to thaw chicken thighs before baking to ensure even cooking. If you must bake from frozen, extend the cooking time and use a meat thermometer to check for doneness.
