Glazed Baked Chicken Thighs Recipes

OVEN BAKED CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 F degrees.
• Place the chicken thighs in a bowl and season them generously with salt and pepper.
• Whisk all the sauce ingredients together in a small bowl.
• Pour the sauce over the thighs and toss them well.
• Transfer the chicken thighs to a 9x13 inch baking dish including any remaining sauce. No need to grease the dish.
• Transfer the baking dish to the oven and bake for about 35 minutes or until the chicken thighs have an internal temperature of 165 F degrees and skin is crispy.
• Transfer the chicken to a serving plate, cover with aluminum foil and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.

MUSTARD-GLAZED OVEN BAKED CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
• In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut oil, Dijon mustard, poultry seasoning, and salt.
• Arrange the chicken thighs in a 9x13" baking dish. Brush the mustard glaze mixture evenly over the top of each thigh. Add freshly ground black pepper to taste.
• Bake uncovered for 30 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 165 degrees when inserted into the center of one of the chicken thighs.

ASIAN GLAZED CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Whisk the vinegar, honey, soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, chili garlic sauce, garlic, and salt in a bowl until smooth. Pour half the marinade into a large plastic zipper bag; retain the other half of the sauce. Place the chicken thighs into the bag containing marinade, squeeze all the air out of the bag, and seal. Shake a few times to coat chicken; refrigerate for 1 hour, turning bag once or twice.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Pour the other half of the marinade into a saucepan over medium heat, bring to a boil, and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring often, to thicken sauce. Remove the chicken from the bag; discard used marinade. Place chicken thighs into a 9x13-inch baking dish, and brush with 1/3 of the thickened marinade from the saucepan.
• Bake 30 minutes, basting one more time after 10 minutes; an instant-read thermometer inserted into a chicken thigh should read 165 degrees F (75 degrees C). Let stand for 5 or 10 minutes; meanwhile, bring remaining marinade back to a boil for 1 or 2 minutes, and serve chicken with marinade. Sprinkle with green onions.

BAKED MAPLE CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Whisk maple syrup, Dijon mustard, and balsamic vinegar together in a bowl. Pour over chicken thighs in a bowl and marinate for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a casserole dish with cooking spray.
• Place chicken in the prepared casserole dish and pour remaining marinade on top.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Flip chicken and continue baking until juices run clear and sauce is thick, about 25 minutes more. Serve with sauce over chicken.

EASY ROASTED CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• In a bowl, toss chicken with oil and lemon juice; season with salt and pepper and marinate 1 hour (or up to a day).
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Roast chicken, skin-side down, in an oiled roasting pan, 20 to 25 minutes; flip and roast 10 more minutes.
• Stir together mustard and honey and season with salt and pepper. Brush glaze onto chicken and broil 5 minutes.

HONEY-AND-SOY-GLAZED CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 minutes. Add the soy sauce and honey and simmer, stirring occasionally, until reduced and slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. (You'll want to cook attentively for this step, as the syrupy mixture can burn if it cooks too long.) Turn off the heat then whisk in the butter. Season with salt and pepper.
• On an aluminum foil-lined rimmed baking sheet, season the chicken all over with salt and pepper. Add half the glaze and the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and toss the chicken to coat. Arrange in an even layer, skin side up, and roast until browned, 15 minutes. Brush the chicken all over with 2 tablespoons of the remaining glaze. Roast until golden and cooked through, about 10 minutes.
• Drizzle the chicken with the remaining glaze and serve with lemon wedges.
