    These rotisserie seasoned boneless skinless thighs are ready in about 25 minutes! If you're looking for a baked boneless chicken thigh recipe that is easy and flavorful, this is it. It's the perfect main dish recipe for busy weeknights!

    Oven Baked Boneless Chicken Thighs

    This baked boneless skinless chicken thighs dish would be perfect served with these delicious side dishes: Baked Feta Pasta with Spaghetti Squash, Broccoli Rice Casserole, or Keto Mac and Cheese. Or you can chop it up and serve it on a salad or with a dip on the side.

    I am a lover of chicken thighs because they have so much flavor compared to boneless chicken breasts. I prefer the simplicity of boneless and skinless thighs because they cook in less time compared to bone-in thighs. They are a cinch to cook and they are so juicy and flavorful.  

    In my opinion, the best way to cook them is in the oven for less mess and less hands-on time. Season them up with my delicious spice mixture and you will be making these baked chicken thighs every week for the whole family.

    Ingredients needed

    Here is everything you need for perfect oven baked boneless chicken thighs (the printable recipe card is toward the bottom of this page):

    boneless chicken thighs recipe ingredients

    Boneless skinless chicken thighs - This cut of chicken without the skin or bones is going to have a quicker cooking time. If you have bone-in and skin-on chicken thighs make my crispy chicken thighs or air fryer chicken thighs instead so you can get crispy skin.

    Smoked paprika - I love the flavor of smoked paprika in this spice blend. You can also use just regular paprika if you cannot find the smoked.

    The rest of the simple spice rub: garlic powder, kosher salt, dried oregano, onion powder, black pepper.

    How to make juicy baked boneless chicken thighs

    nicely seasoned boneless chicken thighs on a sheet tray lined with parchment paper.
    1. Line the baking sheet for less mess: I like to line a rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper or foil.
    2. Combine seasonings: Mix all of the seasonings together in a small bowl for easier distributing. There is enough chicken seasoning to coat both sides of 6 boneless skinless thighs quite generously.
    3. Prepare for baking: After I season both sides, for best results, tuck the end of each thigh under. The chicken is going to stay incredibly juicy if you do not spread the chicken thighs out flat.
    4. Bake: Bake in a 400 degrees F oven (200C) for 20-25 minutes. Use an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh to test that the internal temperature is 165F (74C).

    I know you are going to make this chicken recipe absolutely perfectly and then make them over and over again. Having a perfect go-to recipe the entire family enjoys can sometimes be a small feat. The best part is this 30 minute recipe is so quick, it can be made any night of the week.

    Pro tips

    • Line your baking sheet with foil or parchment paper for less mess.
    • Smoked paprika is actually quite common and can be found in most grocery stores.  You can use Hungarian paprika, but you will be missing that delicious smoky flavor!
    • Use an instant read thermometer to make sure the internal temperature of your baked boneless skinless chicken thighs are cooked to at least 165F.
    • Store the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Freeze for up to 3 months.
    • Serve the chicken with your favorite dipping sauce such as bbq sauce or ranch. Use the leftovers as meal prep.

    How long does it take to bake boneless chicken thighs at 400 degrees? It will take about 20-25 minutes depending on the size and thickness of your chicken thighs.

    What temperature should boneless chicken thighs be cooked to? All poultry should be cooked to a minimum of 165F internal temperature. Test the internal temperature using a probe meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of your chicken pieces.

    Ingredients

    • 6 Boneless skinless chicken thighs, (note 1)
    • 1 ½ teaspoons smoked paprika, (note 2)
    • 1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder
    • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
    • ¾ teaspoon Oregano
    • ¾ teaspoon onion powder
    • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

    Equipment

    • Rimmed half sheet pan = 18x13 inch (46cm x 33cm)
    • Meat Thermometer (Click here for the one I like best on Amazon

    Instructions

    • Preheat the oven to 400F (200C) and line a rimmed baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
    • Combine all the spices in a small bowl. Place your boneless chicken thighs on the baking sheet flat (untucked) and season both sides generously with the seasoning mixture.
    • For extra juicy chicken thighs: Place chicken thighs evenly spaced on the baking sheet and tuck the 2 sides of each chicken thigh under, so they do not dry out while cooking.
      nicely seasoned boneless chicken thighs on a sheet tray lined with parchment paper.
    • Place into already preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until an internal temperature reaches 165F (74C). Use an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh to test that the internal temperature is 165F (74C). Let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.

    Notes

    1. Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs: 6 thighs or about 2 pounds (1kg) are typically what you find in a package at most grocery stores.  If you can only find bone-in chicken thighs, use this recipe instead for crispy chicken skin: Crispy Chicken Thighs 
    2. Smoked paprika: This variety of paprika has become more popular over the years so you shouldn't have much trouble finding it.  You could also use sweet paprika.
    3. Store the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Freeze for up to 3 months.

      I and several others have made the recipe with the seasoning and found it plenty. If you want, you are welcome to double it.
