Preparation
Step 1
How to bake chicken thighs with mayonnaise and garlic in the oven? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Rinse the chicken thighs under running water and pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Step 2
Peel the onion and garlic and rinse them. Press the garlic through a garlic press. Finely chop the onion. In a bowl, mix mayonnaise, onion, and garlic. Add a little salt and spices to taste. For spices, I use a bit of ground pepper and paprika.
Step 3
Add the prepared chicken thighs to the bowl and coat them well on all sides with the mayonnaise sauce. If you have time, let the chicken marinate for 1-2 hours. If not, you can bake it right away.
Step 4
Use any oven-safe baking dish - ceramic, glass, or metal. Grease the bottom and sides with vegetable oil and place the chicken in it along with all the sauce and onion. Spread the sauce evenly over the chicken. Bake in an oven preheated to 200°C (392°F) for 35-40 minutes, adjusting to your oven.
Step 5
During baking, the thighs will brown and turn an appetizing golden color. Remove the dish from the oven and serve hot. You can bring it to the table in the same dish, or plate it and add any side dish you like.
Step 6
Enjoy your meal!
