      Very easy tasty recipe but I found the thighs I used which were not really large did not cook through in just 15 minutes in the oven. Next time I will leave them in for 20. I used Pino Grigio wine but will try a slightly sweeter one the next time. .

        I also thought that 15 min was insufficient, so I used a food thermometer. At 15 min the thickest thigh was only 120 degrees. It took 35 min to get the temperature to 165 degrees (which is the minimum safe temperature for chicken.)
