  • Additional Time: 8 hrs
  • Total Time: 9 hrs
  • Servings: 12
  • Yield: 12 thighs

  • Combine Worcestershire sauce, water, pearl onions, pickling spice, peppercorns, garlic, bouillon, and bay leaves in a resealable plastic bag. Add chicken thighs, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator, 8 hours to overnight.
  • When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Empty the contents of the resealable bag into a casserole dish. Turn chicken thighs so the skin is facing up.
  • Bake in the preheated oven, turning once, until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Turn chicken thighs once more so the skin is facing up. Turn on the broiler to high and broil until golden, about 2 minutes.
