Crispy Baked Chicken Thighs
Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 pinches cayenne pepper, divided, or to taste
  • 2 pinches garlic powder, divided, or to taste
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 cups panko bread crumbs
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 6 chicken thighs
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to a high temperature of 400 degrees Fahrenheit, which is equivalent to 200 degrees Celsius.
2
Cover a baking dish with a layer of parchment paper to prevent food from sticking and make cleanup easier.
3
In one shallow dish, mix together a small amount of flour, a tiny pinch of cayenne pepper to add some heat, a small pinch of garlic powder for extra flavor, salt to enhance taste, and pepper to add depth.
4
In another shallow dish, whisk together eggs in a separate container.
5
Mix together the remaining flour, an additional tiny pinch of cayenne pepper, a small pinch of garlic powder, salt, and pepper in yet another shallow dish.
6
Dip each chicken thigh into the flour mixture, gently shaking off any excess.
7
Next, dip the floured chicken thigh into the eggs, making sure to coat it evenly.
8
Finally, press the egg-coated chicken thigh into the panko mixture, ensuring both sides are fully coated.
9
Place the breaded chicken thighs into the prepared baking pan.
10
Bake the chicken thighs in the preheated oven for approximately 40 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
11
To check if the chicken is done, insert an instant-read thermometer into the thickest part of the thigh near the bone. The internal temperature should read 165 degrees Fahrenheit, which is equivalent to 74 degrees Celsius.
