When cooking four chicken thighs at 375 degrees, it is a good idea to use a meat thermometer. The chicken should be cooked until a steady temperature of 180 degrees is maintained in the center and the chicken meat no longer looks pink in the middle.
Yes, 30 chicken thighs require more cooking time than 10. This is because with so many cooking at once, the thighs placed at the top cook slower than those placed at the bottom.

18 - 22 minutes

A rule of thumb for cooking chicken thighs on top of the stove is 18 mins. Many recipes for fried chicken, which call for chicken to be cooked on top of the stove use the 18-20 min. timeframe. As far as heat is concerned, it depends on the size of the pan. For 4 thighs in a 10 in skillet I cook at a 3.5 with a high of 7. For 5 pieces in 12 inch skillet I cook just a bit past the number 4. To tenderize the chicken, I put a paper plate or tin foil over the top (which traps some steam and probably increases the temperature a bit). If the thighs are REALLY big, I cook them for about 1-2 mins. longer (for a total of about 20-21 mins.). With these time and temperatures, my chicken is always cooked through, and is steaming hot clear to the bone.
yes. it must be stored correctly between cooking
Cooking chicken is done by using a slightly lower temperature, and allowing a longer time to the chicken to be cooked fully through. Cooking at a high temp. will char the outside of the meat, and leave the inside uncooked.
