Baking bone-in chicken thighs at 425°F typically takes around 35-45 minutes, depending on the size of the thighs.
The USDA recommends that chicken should reach a minimum internal temperature of 165°F to be safe to eat.
Once the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165°F, it is safe to eat and should be removed from the oven.
The general guideline for baking frozen bone-in chicken thighs at 425°F is approximately 50-60 minutes. However, the exact baking time may vary depending on the size and thickness of the chicken thighs.
To ensure that the chicken thighs are fully cooked and safe to eat, it’s important to check the internal temperature using a meat thermometer. The internal temperature of the chicken thighs should reach at least 165°F (74°C) to be considered fully cooked.
Here are the steps to bake frozen bone-in chicken thighs at 425°F:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C).
- Remove any excess ice or frost from the chicken thighs and place them on a baking sheet or roasting pan.
- Brush the chicken thighs with oil or melted butter, and season them with salt, pepper, or any other desired seasoning.
- Bake the chicken thighs in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remember to always handle raw chicken with care and follow safe food handling practices to avoid cross-contamination and foodborne illness.
