    How to make oven roasted sheet pan chicken thighs

    Now I’ll walk you through it…

    Quick look at this sheet pan dinner recipe

    1. Season chicken thighs and chill in the fridge (time permitting). 
    2. Bake chicken thighs in the oven on a sheet pan on high with sweet potatoes and onion (for about 30 minutes cooking time, until chicken is about done).
    3. Broil chicken thighs until done. 
    4. Serve with fresh chopped herbs.

    Detailed recipe steps

    1. Prep chicken thighs. Lay raw chicken thighs down on a paper towel to absorb moisture. Pat tops of chicken thigh fry with a paper towel. 
    2. Season and marinate chicken thighs if you have time. To a large mixing bowl, add chicken thighs, olive oil, Italian seasonings, garlic powder, salt, pepper, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard. Massage seasonings into chicken thighs all over. Marinade chicken thighs in seasonings, chilled in the fridge for 30 minutes, up to overnight. They prick up a lot of good quality flavoring the longer they sit. 
    3. Preheat oven for sheet pan chicken to 400 degrees F. Line a large sheet pan or two smaller ones with parchment paper and set aside
    4. Season vegetables for sheet pan. Add chopped sweet potatoes and chopped red onion to a large bowl with olive oil and salt. Toss to coat evenly. Set aside. 
    5. Arrange chicken thighs on a sheet pan, skin side up, separate distance apart, with an open area in the middle. Add vegetables down the middle and between chicken. 
    6. Bake sheet pan chicken in the oven for about 30 minutes, until the temperature measured in the thickest part measures 170 degrees F. Remove from the oven and toss vegetables around in the pan. Leave chicken skin side up. 
    7. Turn the broiler to high. And broil sheet pan chicken thighs 2-5 minutes until done to your desired level of crispy skin. Be careful the parchment paper doesn’t burn.
    8. Serve (after resting 10-15 minutes so the juices can rest) with a sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley on top and enjoy.

    FAQs 

    Can you use boneless skinless chicken thighs for this recipe?

    Yes, they will probably cook a bit faster without bones in them. 

    What vegetables can you add to a sheet pan with chicken thighs?

    Some quick and easy ways to modify this chicken thigh sheet pan meal is to add in other vegetables like halved Brussels sprouts, bok choy, chunks of carrots, asparagus, or broccoli (those last two will cook a bit faster and need to be removed early from the pan, so watch them!).

    Meat thermometer recommendations

    Every home chef needs a reliable meat thermometer to cook food perfectly. 

    On Sip Bite Go, you’ll often see me using:

    1. Meater thermometer – a fancy wireless thermometer that connects to a phone app – gifted to me from a Traeger partnership.
    2. ThermoPro digital thermometer – which has a wire that connects the thermometer to a display box outside the oven/grill. 

    It’s like being psychic! The great thing about either of the thermometers above is that I don’t have to take the food out of the oven to know the temperature. 

    How to use ‘em… What I do is stick the digital thermometer in steak, pork, chicken, whatever… Then put the food in the oven, on the smoker, or grill.

    While the meat cooks, it reads the temperature so I know exactly what temp meat is as it’s cooking. Without having to take it out and check. It’s really difficult to overcook food when you know exactly what temp it is inside!

    Are you a foodie, too?

    Hey home chefs, hope that answers all your questions about cooking sheet pan chicken thighs and veggies together for a tasty, easy meal. 

    For other dinner inspiration with chicken and vegetables, check out this grilled romaine salad with everything bagel chicken. It’s so good – the baked chicken breast has so much flavor and it’s served family style.

    Likewise, this pan grilled chicken is very tasty!

    Hey, I’m Jenna Passaro.

    I develop easy recipes that can transform your kitchen into a restaurant – and you into a true home chef.

      

    Where to start?

    Learn the secrets to smoking tasty Traeger recipes and making pizza at home. And cook amazing tri tip steak dinners.

    Or, fall in love with something new to cook with your air fryer, pellet smoker, BBQ grill, sous vide cooker, and more…

    You’ll notice, I kind of geek out over new cooking trends and tools!

    My story. Growing up, I didn’t learn to cook.

    (I was actually banned from cooking for years)

    And then in my 20’s I didn’t have to cook because my job as an event planner involved a lot of travel and it was easier to eat out. At the time, I was 100% positive that restaurant food would always taste better than cooking at home, and there was nothing I could do about it.

    Until I fell in love with a chef. He would come over and cook me delicious meals right in my own kitchen. My mind was blown.

    Since then, I’ve been on a mission to figure out easy ways to make restaurant style food at home and share it here on Sip Bite Go.

    Love to eat out and travel? I can totally relate. See my guide on where to eat in Portland, OR.

    Never in a million years did I imagine I’d ditch the 9-5 lifestyle in my late 20’s, move across the country on a whim, start a new life, start a food blog, and write a book.

    But here I am!
