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.
Keep in mind that these times are just estimates, and the actual baking time may vary depending on your oven and the specific chicken thighs you are using. It’s always better to err on the side of caution and check the chicken frequently to avoid overcooking.
