Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C).
In a small bowl, mix Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, black pepper, paprika, lemon zest, and the juice of one lemon until well combined.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to help the mustard mixture stick.
Brush the mustard mixture generously over the skin side and underside of each chicken thigh.
Lightly sprinkle the panko breadcrumbs over the top of the thighs, pressing gently to help them adhere.
In a large oven-safe skillet or baking dish, arrange the chicken thighs skin-side up in a single layer.
Pour the chicken stock into the bottom of the skillet or baking dish, avoiding pouring it directly over the chicken to preserve the breadcrumb crust.
Place the skillet or baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165Β°F (74Β°C) and the skin is golden and crispy.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve hot, garnished with additional rosemary if desired.
