I really had to dig deep in the memory banks for this baked chicken thighs recipe, and I’m so glad that I did. It was delicious! I haven’t made it in years, and I came to realize there really isn’t much to this recipe at all. I was at my Dad’s last week and though he is limited on cooking gluten free ingredients and supplies, I am usually able to whip up most basic recipes. This really is an easy gluten free recipe. If you’d like to make it lower in calorie, substitute some of the butter or buttery spread for a bit of gluten-free chicken broth. Enjoy! Dad did!

I cubed my large potatoes in 16 pieces, each.
I need to make this for a friend in two weeks April 9th. Will it serve 9 adults? Thank you.
I already sent one e-mail. Hope it was received.
Hi Carole, I never received an email from you, but see my earlier reply.

I belong to a group that meets twice a month. One of our members cannot eat gluten products. I want to make this in two weeks. Will it serve 9 adults? Thank you!
Hi Carole, to play it on the safe side, you’ll want 2 chicken thighs per person, and more potatoes. Hope this helps.

Wow, does this look so good and simple. Thank you
