This is the perfect go-to recipe for the entire family for any night of the week. Also it’s a great recipe for meal prep! The smokiness goes so well with the sweetness of the pumpkin spread.
1. The first step is start with preheating the oven temperature to 400 degrees. If the pumpkin spread was refrigerated, set it out to bring to room temperature. 2. Remove any skin (if any) from the chicken thighs and rinse well. Pat dry with a paper towel and place chicken thighs in a single layer on the sheet pan lined with parchment paper.
3. Season the chicken with a touch salt and black pepper. 4. Then drizzle the olive oil and add the remaining spice. Combine well. Add another touch of salt. 5. Place the chicken in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken is 165 degrees.
6. Carefully remove the chicken from the oven when done. Using a pastry brush, glaze the juicy chicken thighs with the pumpkin spread. Serve these boneless thighs with your favorite side dishes.
Tips: When cooking chicken thighs, the best way to know if they are cooked properly is to use a meat thermometer or instant read thermometer. You will want to test the thickest part of the meat. If you don’t want to use pumpkin glaze, you can always brush the chicken with your favorite glaze, dijon mustard with a touch of maple syrup or honey or use bbq sauce. Another delicious method is marinating the chicken over night in a ziploc bag using your favorite flavors.
