Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 6 cloves garlic cloves
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups panko breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for greasing the pan)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a large baking sheet with the olive oil.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Mince the garlic cloves finely and stir them into the melted butter. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside.
In a shallow bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper.
In a second bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.
In a third bowl, place the all-purpose flour.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and lightly season them with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Working one piece at a time, dredge each chicken thigh in the flour, shaking off any excess. Next, dip it into the egg mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated, and then press it firmly into the breadcrumb mixture, coating it evenly.
Place the breaded chicken thighs skin-side up on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each piece.
Using a pastry brush, drizzle or brush the garlic-butter mixture generously over each thigh, ensuring the tops are coated well for extra flavor and crispiness.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the coating is golden brown and crispy, and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
For extra crispiness, switch the oven to broil for the last 2 minutes of baking, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your extra crispy garlic baked chicken with your favorite sides!
