Easy Baked Chicken Thighs For Two Recipes

OVEN BAKED CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F convection. Pat dry the chicken.
• Trim any loose skin with no meat off. Also, remove any fat that is easily removed.
• Prep a baking sheet. Line with aluminum foil, add a rack, and give a heavy spray of PAM. Use a baking sheet or pan big enough to hold all the thighs without touching.
• Place thighs skin down and sprinkle lightly with the spices of your choice. I went with 7:2:1 or 7:2:2. If you don't have that, just a little salt and pepper to taste. A pinch of cayenne would be good also. Flip and tuck in any thin parts underneath and sprinkle skin side.
• With skin side up, bake until internal temp of 180° to 185°F-about 30 minutes of cooking time. Then rest for 5 minutes or more before serving.

EASY BAKED CHICKEN THIGHS FOR TWO

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400F.
• In a small bowl mix together all the sauce ingredients.
• Lightly spray a shallow baking dish with cooking spray. (I used a 1.75-quart baking dish)
• Pat chicken dry using paper toweling and arrange chicken on the bottom of the baking dish in a single layer - salt and pepper to taste.
• Spoon the sauce over the chicken and bake uncovered for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until chicken is done. (185F.)
• Serve over rice or hash browns.

EASY BAKED CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Place thighs in a baking dish. Season chicken thighs on all sides with garlic powder and onion flakes.
• Bake chicken in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

EASY BAKED CHICKEN AND POTATO DINNER FOR TWO

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Spray baking dish, 13x9x2 inches, with cooking spray.

Place potatoes, bell pepper and onion in center of pan; brush vegetables with remaining mustard. Spray chicken and vegetables with cooking spray; sprinkle evenly with cheese and paprika.
• Bake 35 to 40 minutes, stirring vegetables after 20 minutes, until potatoes are tender and juice of chicken is no longer pink when centers of thickest pieces are cut.
