How To Make panko baked chicken thighs ( convection toaster oven)
Crispy golden brown oven-baked chicken thighs are simple to prep and easy to make! These chicken thighs are juicy on the inside and packed with flavor. Simple ingredients make a delicious and easy chicken dinner that you’ll want to make again and again! So in our house, we eat a lot of boneless skinless chicken breast with meals. I’ve made these chicken drumsticks often enough and I love the convenience of having chicken thighs with roasted vegetables on the same pan. Often though, I reach for chicken breast when I am making a recipe. (Try my one-pot broccoli cheesy chicken with chicken breast, it’s a favorite!) The thing is sometimes chicken breast can dry out. I started really paying attention to chicken meals I’ve had out at restaurants and I noticed that many times when the chicken was delicious and juicy? It was thigh meat in the recipe. I knew I had to try chicken thighs more often. Boy was I glad I did because these chicken thighs are juicy, flavorful, and amazing! The leftovers are great for salads, sandwiches and wraps! *This post may contain affiliate links to products we love. If you purchase something after clicking one of our links we make a small fee.

Variation Ideas, Swaps And FAQCan I Use Boneless Chicken Thighs?Yes, you can use boneless chicken thighs in this recipe. I actually like boneless chicken thighs quite a bit because they are a little less messy, but bone-in chicken thighs tend to have a little more flavor. Boneless chicken thighs also usually don’t have the skin. If you want crispy skin, you’ll need to use a bone-in chicken thigh. This recipe is still delicious and flavorful with boneless chicken thighs, but won’t’ be crispy without the skin. Boneless chicken thighs will take slightly less time to cook than bone-in chicken thighs. Expect boneless chicken thighs to take about 25-30 minutes before they are finished. Use a meat thermometer to check, the chicken is cooked when it reaches 165 degrees. Whether you use bone in- or boneless chicken this baked chicken thighs recipe will be delicious for dinner. Do I Need Any Oil?Don’t add extra olive oil or other oil to these crispy chicken thighs! Chicken thighs have a lot of fat already on their own. You don’t need the extra oil in this dish to make them delicious. Can I Make These Crispy Chicken Thighs In The Air Fryer?Yes, you can make these chicken thighs in the air fryer. I love using my air fryer! Follow the instructions as listed in the recipe card at the bottom of the page. Start checking the chicken for it to be done after about 30 minutes. Air Fryer Note *Some air fryer machines run a little hotter than others. The first time I cook a new recipe in my air fryer I like to start checking it early if I am unsure. For this chicken recipe, I would start checking the chicken with a meat thermometer at 20-25 minutes if you are unsure if your air fryer runs hot.

Most toaster ovens will be able to cook chicken thighs. The oven must have a controlled higher temperature and account for drainage. And like bigger ovens, you are cooking to a final internal temperature and never by time.
How long should you cook chicken in a toaster oven?Bake the chicken for approximately 35 to 45 minutes in the toaster oven. Use a meat thermometer to determine the doneness of the chicken. The internal temperature should read a minimum of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Is it better to bake chicken thighs at 350 or 400?The higher the temperature when baking chicken thighs creates that golden brown outer skin that protects the dark meat from over cooking and tenderizes the inside making it even more flavorful and tender. I like to bake chicken thighs at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 35 to 40 minutes long.
How long do chicken thighs take to bake at 350?The USDA guidelines lists approximate cooking times of 40 to 50 minutes for 4-to-8-ounce chicken thighs roasted at 350 degrees. In our basic meal prep boneless chicken thighs recipe, they take about 25 to 30 minutes baked at 425 degrees F.
