3-Step Execution Protocol

Preheat & Prep

Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C). Arrange chicken thighs (boneless, skinless) (6 oz boneless, skinless thighs, unrolled flat, oiled and spaced on rimmed baking sheet) on a parchment-lined sheet pan in a single layer. Spray lightly with high-smoke-point oil.

Cook

Cook for 20–25 mins. Do not flip; allow surface to develop undisturbed.

Check & Rest

Caramelized edges, rendered clear juices on pan, center reaches 175°F with fork-tender texture. Confirm internal temperature reaches 175°F (79°C) internal for tender dark meat. Rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Verification Basis & Testing Rig

USDA FSIS 165°F minimum poultry guideline (175°F targeted for dark meat collagen breakdown); Nordic Ware Sheet Pan Roasting Specs.

Pro Tip: Roast at 425°F without flipping; high heat browns the tops while pan contact caramelizes the flat bottoms.
