🍗 Oven-Baked Chicken Thighs (Latin Style)
Ingredients:
• 6 chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on preferred)
• 2 tbsp butter (softened or melted)
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp Adobo powder
• 1 packet Sazón Goya
• 2 tbsp mayo
• 1 tbsp ketchup
• 1 tsp mustard
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prep the chicken: Pat thighs dry with paper towels and place in a baking dish.
3. Make the marinade: In a small bowl, mix butter, onion powder, garlic powder, Adobo, Sazón Goya, mayo, ketchup, and mustard until it forms a smooth paste.
4. Coat the chicken: Rub the mixture all over the chicken thighs, making sure they’re well covered (under the skin too, for more flavor).
5. Bake uncovered at 350°F for 2 hours. The skin will get golden and the inside will be juicy and full of flavor.
6. Optional: Broil for 2–3 minutes at the end to crisp the skin.
Serve with:
• Boiled or fried yuca (cassava), seasoned with garlic oil or mojo
• Roasted or steamed vegetables (like carrots, broccoli, or peppers)#chickenrecipeideas #Lemon8Diary #lemon8bookclub #dinner
Oven-baked chicken thighs are a delightful way to enjoy a savory and comforting dish that pays homage to Latin cuisine. The key to this delicious meal lies in the marinade, which combines butter, onion powder, garlic powder, Adobo, Sazón Goya, mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard. These ingredients not only infuse the chicken with flavor but also help to keep it moist throughout the cooking process. When preparing your chicken thighs, opt for bone-in, skin-on pieces for the best texture and taste. After marinating, baking them at a steady temperature ensures an even cook, resulting in crispy skin and juicy meat. If you're serving this dish at a family gathering or dinner party, consider pairing it with traditional sides such as boiled or fried yuca seasoned with garlic oil, or roasted vegetables like carrots, broccoli, or bell peppers. For those looking to elevate the dish even further, adding a side of pickled onions can bring a refreshing crunch that complements the richness of the chicken. Whether it's a weeknight dinner or a festive celebration, these Latin-style oven-baked chicken thighs are sure to impress your guests and leave them asking for seconds!
