❓Chicken Thigh FAQ
Chicken thighs are fully cooked when they reach an internal temperature of 165°F in the thickest part of the meat. We love the Thermapen® by Thermoworks for checking meat temperatures.
Four boneless chicken thighs can be fully baked at 450°F in roughly 20 minutes. All chicken is fully cooked at 165°F. We love the Thermapen® by Thermoworks for checking meat temperatures.
A little tip: If your meat is anywhere between 155° and 165°, you can take it out of the oven. The chicken will continue to cook a bit once out of the oven, and this will help to prevent your chicken from ending up too dry. Just make sure to do a final temp check with a meat thermometer, and it must read at least 165°.
The choice to broil or bake chicken thighs depends on the recipe and the desired outcome. Broiling cooks chicken more quickly with a crispy, flavorful finish, while baking is a slower and more even way to cook chicken with sauces, cheeses or other infused flavors.
