Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 pieces Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil (or melted butter)
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to ensure the coating sticks properly. Set aside.
In a shallow bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
In a second shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.
In a third shallow bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
Working one piece at a time, dredge the chicken in the seasoned flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
Dip the floured chicken into the egg mixture, letting any excess drip off.
Finally, coat the chicken in the panko-Parmesan mixture, pressing gently to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere evenly.
Place the coated chicken thighs on the prepared baking sheet, skin side up. Drizzle each piece with a small amount of olive oil or melted butter for extra crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown, super crispy, and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve hot with your favorite sides like roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh green salad.
