Transfer the chicken thighs plus all of the sauce to a baking dish, ensure that the chicken thighs are arranged spread out and flat (not tucked under). Transfer to the oven to cook for 20 minutes or until the chicken has an internal temperature of 160 degrees and its golden brown in color (If the chicken is still pale in color I recommend turning the oven to broil and leaving the chicken to cook for 1-2 more minutes until golden in color).
