how long to bake bone-in chicken thighs at 350
The baking time for bone-in chicken thighs at 350°F (175°C) will depend on the size of the thighs and the level of doneness desired. Here are some general guidelines:
* Small bone-in chicken thighs (1-1.5 pounds or 0.5-0.7 kg): 30-40 minutes
* Medium bone-in chicken thighs (1.5-2.5 pounds or 0.7-1.1 kg): 40-50 minutes
* Large bone-in chicken thighs (2.5-3.5 pounds or 1.1-1.6 kg): 50-60 minutes
It’s always a good idea to check the internal temperature of the chicken to ensure it reaches a safe minimum internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). You can use a meat thermometer to check the temperature.
Additionally, you can also check for doneness by looking for the following signs:
* The chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear when you cut into the thickest part of the thigh.
* The skin is golden brown and crispy.
* The meat is tender and falls off the bone easily.
Remember to always let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute and the meat to relax.
