how long to bake bone-in chicken thighs at 400

The baking time for bone-in chicken thighs at 400°F (200°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 (about 1-1.25 pounds or 0.5-0.6 kg): 25-30 minutes
* Medium bone-in chicken thighs (about 1.5-2 pounds or 0.7-0.9 kg): 30-35 minutes
* Large bone-in chicken thighs (about 2.5-3 pounds or 1.1-1.4 kg): 40-45 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 crispy and golden brown.
* The meat is tender and falls off the bone easily.

Remember to always let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute and the meat to relax.
