The Perfect Busy Weeknight Dinner
In my ongoing search for easy weeknight dinners, I came up with these oven-roasted chicken thighs. This recipe is for boneless, skinless chicken thighs, making it very kid-friendly and quick to prepare and cook.
You will simply coat the chicken thighs with a little olive oil and then sprinkle the delicious seasoning combination on both sides. Roasting the chicken in the oven takes no time at all and you’ll have a delicious, juicy meal your family will love.
How Long Do I Roast Boneless Chicken Thighs?
Since we are using boneless, skinless chicken thighs you only need to bake them for about 12-14 minutes. You will bake the chicken thighs at 425° F.
Before removing them from the oven, always make sure to check the internal temperature of the thickest part of the thickest thigh. Once it reaches 165° F, the thighs are ready to be taken out of the oven. I always use my meat thermometer to make sure the thighs have reached a safe temperature.
I like to line my sheet pan with aluminum foil and spray the foil with some non-stick cooking spray. This makes clean-up a breeze. Anything to make things easier!
What Can I Eat With Roasted Chicken Thighs?
These delicious Oven Roasted Chicken Thighs can pair well with so many easy sides! We recently ate them with some mashed potatoes and the kids devoured their plates. If you’re eating low-carb, then you may enjoy the chicken thighs with this delicious Loaded Mashed Cauliflower Casserole.
I usually have rice on hand so that’s always a great side dish for these chicken thighs. You can have white jasmine rice or even brown rice with them. Both delicious choices!

Hi Madeline! I’m so happy you enjoyed these! Thanks for stopping by!
This was the best quick dinner! My husband said he could eat this over and over again. Definitely going to come back to this recipe a lot!
Hi Kelsey! I’m so glad you and your husband enjoyed this recipe! I appreciate you stopping by and commenting!
Aloha from Hawai’i. I fixed this recipe for dinner tonight and my entire family (of three – lol) loved it. Every time I fix a recipe for the first time, I always ask my family if this is a “repeat” or not. They all said “REPEAT”. So thank you for the different seasoning mix, I may include it on another dish. I’ll check out what other recipes you have. Maybe I’ll find another “REPEAT”. Mahalo.
Hi! What an awesome comment! I’m so happy your family loved it and it’ll be on repeat! I appreciate you stopping by! I love Hawaii and everything Hawaiian by the way! Been there once and would love to go back!
So easy and delicious. Added a little cayenne pepper based on anothers comment. I will be making this again
Hi Jennifer! So glad you enjoyed the chicken! Happy New Year!

Hi Elsie! So happy to hear it! I appreciate you stopping by to comment! Happy New Year!
I’m on a keto diet and trying to calculate my macros. Any idea as to what the serving size is? Maybe 2- 4 ounce pieces?
Hi Brandi! The recipe calls for 3 pounds, and the recipe card says it’s approximately 6 servings. That means a serving size is approximately 8 ounces. These are all approximations. Hope this helps.
These were delicious and my favorite part…I didn’t have to clean the pan 🙌🏻
Hi Jenn! So glad you loved them! I appreciate you stopping by!
This is actually my base for when I grill chicken and then smother with bbq sauce! I never thought to do the same spices but just stick it in the oven. I add a little bit of cayenne pepper cause the people in this house like heat.
Hi Liz! Definitely try it in the oven! Super easy and delicious! Thanks for stopping by!
