We have many chicken thighs recipes on this site. This particular one is rubbed withe a great combination of spices and them baked.
This rub will work perfectly well for cooking chicken thighs in the oven or for grilling them. If you have left over rub, simply store it in a covered container in a cool place. It should last you for a couple of months.
If you are not into spicy food you might want to reduce or omit the amount of cayenne that you use in these. Some people find them to be too spicy. Some love it.
These chicken thigh are tender, juicy and very, very flavorful.
Here is what you will need for this delicious spiced chicken thighs recipe:
Serves six
12 chicken thighs
1 TBS salt
1 tsp. black pepper
1 TBS ground cumin
1 tsp. cinnamon
½ tsp. ground cloves
1 tsp. allspice
1 tsp. cayenne
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Oil a roasting rack inside a roasting pan.
Add all the spices into a bowl and mix well.
Place the thighs on the rack. Sprinkle them generously on both sides, leaving them skin side down.

Flip the chicken and cook for an extra 25 minutes, or until a meat thermometer registers 175 degrees when inserted close to the bone. Make sure the chicken is cooked through but are not dried. Serve and enjoy.

These are awesome–tried them tonight (with about half the listed cayenne) and they were a hit. We’ll definitely be making these again. Thanks so much for all your wonderful recipes and videos.
You are very welcome! I am happy these worked for you. Thank you for trying them out!

Can you cook these chicken thighs without the skin?
thanks, Marty
Hi Martin!
Yes, you can. I like keeping the skin on in order to keep the meat tender. I remove them before serving. However, if you prefer not to have them at all – go right ahead! Thanks for stopping by!

Currently making these for the second time! Love this recipe, very easy to make and very tasty. My family loved them the first time now lets see their reaction the second time around. However this time I’m using chicken drumsticks instead. Same spices and oven time and temperature. Very glad I came across your website I’ll be trying a few of your recipes. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Laura!
Thank you so much for the message! I am so happy that your family liked these. I am sure the drumsticks were delish! I really appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment and I am also very glad you found the website! Take care.
