After a long day, the last thing we wanna do is cook. Just the thought of making dinner again feels like WAY too much work, right? (surely I’m sure I’m not the only one that feels that way?)

Those are the exact kinda day that my favorite dump and bake chicken recipes come in SO handy. Just dump and let my oven do the work.

Best of all, these family-sized meals are budget-friendly and use simple ingredients that you probably already have – which makes them extra fab!

These recipes are meant to make dinner stress-free and delicious. I hope they bring as much joy to your table as they did to mine.

My family LOVES my baked chicken thighs and so do I!

They’re really simple to make, too!

oven baked chicken thighs recipe with 3 ingredients

Here’s how I make them:

I use this special seasoning blend (it’s SO good)!

Then I mix in about a tablespoon of baking powder into my seasonings (that’s how you get them really crispy outside).

I use that mix and season about 8-10 chicken thighs then pop ’em on a baking sheet with a cookie rack (so the oven heat gets all around the chicken).

In my oven, I bake at 375F for about 45 minutes-ish.

So very very good!
