Place the chicken thighs on a baking sheet or oven safe dish, and brush the mixture evenly over each one. Bake for 45 minutes or until a thermometer reads 165 degrees F when inserted into the center of one of the chicken thighs. *Recipe taken from cookbook, Practical Paleo, by Diane Sanfilippo, BS, NC.
