In reply to Bernadette K. Hi there—so glad you found the recipe. Yes, you can absolutely triple the marinade for 12 thighs. Just make sure the chicken fits snugly in your baking dishes so the marinade doesn’t spread too thin. I usually use an 8-inch square (2-quart) pan for 4 thighs, so for 12, you’ll want either three of those or something similar in size where the chicken can stay close together and covered in the marinade while it bakes. Hope it’s a hit—thighs really don’t get the credit they deserve.

Hi Cathy! I literally, accidentally stumbled across your Apricot Chicken Thighs recipe, your site as well, and was intrigued by this recipe! I’ll be feeding a group so for 12 thighs, can I triple the marinade ingredients? I’m so looking forward to trying this out. No one uses thighs anymore but I think they are too overlooked so thanks!!

These baked chicken thighs are so full of flavor! My whole family loved and enjoyed them a lot and in fact they are requesting for me to make this recipe again this weekend!

I made this as stated in receipe but substituted fresh spinch leaves as I didn’t have cilantro. My husband loved it and so did I. I was skeptical as I wasn’t thrilled with the smell of the marinade but upon cooking it was great. Will make more often. A winner!
