Boneless chicken thighs typically bake in the oven at temperatures ranging from 400°F to 425°F. The baking time varies slightly depending on the temperature and whether the thighs are rolled or unrolled:
- At 425°F, bake uncovered for about 20 to 25 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and juices run clear
- At 400°F, baking usually takes about 25 to 30 minutes for boneless, skinless thighs
- If the thighs are unrolled (flattened), they cook faster, around 18-20 minutes at 400°F; rolled thighs take about 22-25 minutes
- It's important to use an instant-read thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches a safe internal temperature of at least 165°F (74°C)
Baking uncovered helps the thighs brown nicely, and resting the chicken for 10 minutes after baking can improve tenderness
. In summary, bake boneless chicken thighs at 400-425°F for about 20-30 minutes, depending on size and preparation, until they reach 165°F internally.
