- Arrange for baking: Transfer the marinated chicken thighs to a baking dish, drizzling any leftover marinade over the top.

- Rest and serve: Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your flavorful dish!
Notes
For deeper flavor, marinate chicken thighs overnight. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness.
