Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to bake chicken thighs in sour cream? Prepare your food. If they are frozen, thaw the thighs first by transferring them from the freezer to the bottom shelf of the refrigerator. Legs are also suitable for this dish. If you prefer them, then take 6-8 pieces for this amount of ingredients. In general, you can bake any part of the chicken this way.

Step 2

Step 2
Wash chicken thighs and dry with paper towels. Place them in a deep bowl. Salt and pepper on both sides. In addition to pepper, you can add any spices to your taste.

Step 3

Step 3
Add sour cream to the chicken and stir. Choose high-quality, natural sour cream, without vegetable additives. You can use mayonnaise rather than sour cream. Or take a mixture of sour cream and mayonnaise. Just keep in mind that this will increase the calorie content of the dish.

Step 4

Step 4
Grate the cheese on a coarse grater.

Step 5

Step 5
Place the meat with sour cream in a baking dish.

Step 6

Step 6
Sprinkle grated cheese on top of the dish. Bake chicken thighs in an oven preheated to 180°C for about 40 minutes. Be guided by your oven and the appearance of the dish — it should be covered with a golden brown crust. If the cheese suddenly starts to brown too quickly, cover the pan with foil and remove it 10 minutes before the end of baking. Serve the finished thighs with any side dish. Bon appetit!
