What temperature to cook sheet pan chicken thighs?

I’ve found 425°F works best because it gives the chicken crispy skin while keeping the meat juicy. Lower temperatures don’t quite deliver that same golden finish.

Is it better to cook chicken thighs at 350 or 400?

I’ve tried both, and while 350°F cooks them through, 400°F or above gives much better results. The skin crisps nicely and the vegetables caramelize instead of steaming.

How long does it take to cook a pan of chicken thighs in the oven?

Usually between 35 and 45 minutes, depending on the size of the thighs. I always check with a meat thermometer to make sure they’ve reached 165°F inside.

Can you cook raw chicken and potatoes at the same time?

Yes, and that’s the beauty of this recipe. Everything goes on the same pan and cooks together. The potatoes and carrots soak up the flavor from the chicken, which makes them even better.
