Oven-Roasted Marinated Chicken Thighs
Oven-Roasted Marinated Chicken Thighs deliver deep, tangy richness from a long Worcestershire soak, balanced by warm pickling spices, garlic, and aromatic bay leaves. The skin crisps in the oven while the marinade and pan juices meld into a bold, spoonable sauce. Serve for a comforting weeknight dinner or a casual weekend meal with roasted vegetables or buttery rice.

- 1
Combine Worcestershire sauce, water, pearl onions, pickling spice, peppercorns, garlic, bouillon, and bay leaves in a resealable plastic bag.
- 2
Add chicken thighs, coat them with the marinade, press out excess air, and seal the bag.
- 3
Marinate in the refrigerator, 8 hours to overnight.
- 4
When you are ready to cook, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- 5
Pour the contents of the resealable bag into a casserole dish and turn the chicken thighs so the skin faces up.
- 6
Bake in the preheated oven, turning once, until the chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 45 minutes; an instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should register 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
- 7
Turn the chicken thighs once more so the skin faces up, switch the broiler to high, and broil until golden, about 2 minutes.
