📝 Instructions

11 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

2. In a small bowl, combine the Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, and minced garlic. Stir until well blended.

3. In another bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.

4. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season them lightly with salt and pepper.

5. Brush each chicken thigh generously with the mustard mixture until fully coated.

6. Press each mustard-coated chicken thigh into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring an even coating on all sides.

7. Place the breaded chicken thighs on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side up.

8. Drizzle the tops of the chicken with olive oil and melted butter to help the crust achieve a golden, crispy texture.

9. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and the crust is golden brown.

10. Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

11. Serve warm with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
