Delicious juicy chicken thighs in mayonnaise with aromatic spices baked in the oven. If there is no time to marinate, then the recipe can be shortened by 2 hours. Baked chicken with mayonnaise turns out to be tender and with a slight sourness. All poultry pieces are covered with a golden brown crust with a delicious aroma! Cooking chicken with mayonnaise at home is very simple. The recipe requires minimal preparatory work. It is convenient to bake the thighs when there is no time to prepare complex dishes, but you need to do something meaty. Although this recipe can cook any other parts of the chicken or bake the whole poultry.
The ingredients for the dish are the simplest ones, and guided by tips and a step-by-step recipe, you can easily master the technique. Thanks to this, you will make the food one of the favorites in the family. In order not to waste time preparing a side dish, you can immediately make a full meal while baking vegetables with chicken, for example, potatoes. Then keep in mind that using potatoes increases the nutritional value of the staple. This is especially important if you are watching your weight.
- Prepare a chilled carcass dish. Thawed poultry is inferior to fresh poultry.
- If there is no fresh poultry, then defrost it for a long time only in the refrigerator. At room temperature or defrosting in the microwave, the meat fibers will become tough.
- The optimal marinating time is considered to be 10 hours in the refrigerator if you are cooking for lunch. For evening service, marinate the carcass in the morning.
- Don't be limited to spices. Paprika is well suited for chicken meat; it gives a reddish tint. Turmeric will make the bird golden and spicy. Cheese or cream with nutmeg will complement the milky flavors. In combination with peppers, the chicken will become spicy and rich. Marjoram is suitable for poultry with potatoes. Rosemary and basil will add accents of Italian cuisine, while oregano will add a luxurious aroma.
Considering all the subtleties of cooking, chicken thighs in mayonnaise in the oven will turn out to be tender, juicy and very tasty! And the incomparable aroma evokes an appetite and a desire to test your efforts!

Step by step cooking chicken thighs in mayonnaise in the oven, recipe with photo:
1. Rinse chicken thighs well under cold running water and pat dry with a paper towel. Remove fat from them so that the dish is less high in calories. If you wish, you can remove the skin, because it contains the most calories and cholesterol. However, after baking in the oven, it is the skin that is most delicious. Place the thighs in a deep pickling container.
2. Add mayonnaise to the thighs.
3. Pour the soy sauce next.
4. Peel the garlic cloves, wash and pass through a press. Top with suneli hops, black pepper and other favorite spices.
5. Stir well so that all the spices are evenly distributed and the marinade covers each chicken thigh. Cover the container with plastic wrap or a lid and leave to marinate at room temperature for 2 hours. You can extend the marinating if desired, but then place the bird in the refrigerator. And if there is no time for marinating, then you can immediately start baking.
6. Cover the baking tray with parchment paper and line the chicken thighs. Although paper may not be used, I use it to make it easier to clean the baking sheet after cooking.
7. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees and send the poultry to bake for 40 minutes. When it gets golden brown, try its done. To do this, make a shallow incision: if clear juice oozes out, then the dish is ready. In case of blood leaks, cover the chicken thighs in mayonnaise with cling foil so that it does not burn, and bake in the oven for another 5-10 minutes. Then remove the sample again.
