- 8 boneless chicken thighs
- 1 tablespoon lemon pepper seasoning
- ½ teaspoon garlic salt or garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or other vegetable oil
Baking Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375F / 190C.
Combine the oil, lemon pepper and garlic salt in a bowl or ziptop bag.
Add in the chicken thighs and toss or shake to coat completely.
Transfer the chicken to a baking dish and sprinkle with additional lemon pepper, desired.
Bake for 14-20 minutes until cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165F / 74C.
Air Fryer Instructions
Prepare the chicken as directed, then add the chicken pieces to the air fryer basket being careful not to overlap.
Sprinkle with additional lemon pepper.
Cook at 350F / 180C for 15 minutes or until cooked through. Flip halfway through cooking.
- For a healthier version remove the skin from the chicken thighs before coating with seasoning. Bake as directed.
- Check the label of your lemon pepper seasoning to see if it has added salt. If it does, you may want to use garlic powder instead of garlic salt to avoid oversalting the chicken.
- Adjust the cooking time based on the size of the chicken thighs. Thicker thighs will need a few minutes longer while thinner or smaller thighs may cook a little faster.
- Always check for doneness with a meat thermometer. The temperature should be 165F / 74C when inserted into the thickest part of the chicken thighs.
- For extra crispy skin, place the chicken under a broiler for a few minutes before serving.
- Storage - keep leftovers refrigerated for 4 days.
