Nutrition

Lean chicken meat provides a rich source of protein, a beneficial ratio of unsaturated to saturated fatty acids, and essential vitamins and minerals, all of which contribute to its positive health effects.

Baked lean chicken provides significant nutritional benefits, offering between 110 and 147% of daily niacin needs, over 50% of the recommended dietary intake for protein, and substantial amounts of magnesium, zinc, riboflavin, vitamin E, vitamin A equivalents, and thiamin, making it a valuable component of the diet and supporting weight management and overall nutrient intake.

Substitutions

If you don’t have boneless skinless chicken thighs, bone in skin on chicken thighs or chicken breasts is another great option. You’ll just need to add a few minutes to the cooking time to ensure that they are fully cooked.

Be sure to check the internal temperature of the chicken and remove it when it reaches an internal temperature of 165F.

Notes

If the chicken is at room temperature when cooking, they will be done closer to the 15/16 minute mark. If they are marinated in the fridge it will be closer to 18 minutes to be fully cooked.

If you have extra thick chicken thighs or you are using bone in chicken thighs, you will need to increase the cooking time to make sure they are fully cooked.
