Let's Get Started…

The Ingredients To Gather:

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• Salt and  ground black pepper
• Olive oil
• Sauce or additional seasonings (optional)

The Step By Step Directions To Follow:

1. Heat the oven to 425°F.
2. Put the chicken in a bowl, season with salt and pepper. At this point, if I'm not adding another sauce, I drizzle a little bit of olive oil over the meat too, to help it brown well in the oven.
3. If you want to add a little more punch to the chicken, you can make a quick sauce of nearly any oil, acid, and spices.
4. Here, for instance, I combined a couple tablespoons olive oil and about 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar with 1 teaspoon brown sugar, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 4 garlic cloves, and a dash of red pepper flakes.
5. I often make Asian-inspired sauces with sesame oil, rice vinegar, and lots of chili-garlic sauce.
6. You can also pour pre-made salad dressing over the chicken.
7. Toss the chicken with the baking sauce.
8. Spread the chicken in the baking dish. Just lay the chicken inside.
9. Bake for 20 minutes or until the chicken has an internal temperature of 165°F.  Check after 20 minutes, and if they are not quite up to temperature, put back in the oven and continue cooking and checking the temperature in 5-minute increments.
10. Remove the chicken from the oven and rest the meat, covered, for 10 minutes. Cover the baking dish with foil and let the chicken rest.

Finished!
