Recipe View 25 mins Bake until cranberry mixture is slightly caramelized, chicken is cooked through, and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork, about 20 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of each thigh near the bone should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. (25 minutes)

For deeper flavor, marinate the chicken thighs in the cranberry sauce mixture for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight) before baking.
If you prefer boneless, skinless chicken thighs, reduce the initial baking time by about 10 minutes.
Serve with rice, quinoa, or roasted vegetables for a complete and satisfying meal.
