Roasted Chicken Thighs

I am always looking for a good recipe for chicken thighs. Chicken breasts get so much love in the recipe world and it seems everyone forgets how versatile the lovely thigh can be. Chicken thighs are also much more affordable and they don’t dry out like chicken breasts often do. I really think you’ll love this recipe.

Can I Use Chicken Breasts?

Of course! Just reduce the cooking time to 20 minutes if using boneless, skinless breasts. If you’re using bone in breasts, increase the cooking time to 45-50 minutes.

What to Serve with Roasted Chicken?

These chicken thighs are so versatile, you really could serve them with your favorite side dish; here are some ideas:

Homemade Rice Pilaf
Mashed potatoes
Angel hair pasta or linguine
Roasted veggies like Lemon Garlic Roasted Broccoli and Cauliflower
Steamed green beans
Asparagus
