Oven Fried Parmesan Chicken Thighs Recipes

CRISPY BAKED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH PANKO AND PARMESAN COATING

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Heat the oven to 375 F. Set a rack on a large foil-lined baking sheet.
• Pat the chicken thighs with paper towels to dry them. Trim any excess fat or skin. The skin adds juiciness and flavor, but feel free to remove it if desired.
• Sprinkle the chicken pieces with 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
• In a small bowl, combine the melted butter with the mustard, maple syrup or honey, and garlic powder.
• In another shallow bowl, combine the panko crumbs with shredded or grated Parmesan cheese, paprika, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, and parsley.
• Brush or rub the chicken thighs all over with the butter and mustard mixture and then press all sides in the panko mixture to coat thoroughly.
• Place the coated chicken thighs on the rack over the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until the chicken reaches 165 F. The juices should run clear when the chicken is pierced with a fork.

OVEN-"FRIED" CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
• Combine flour, 1 pinch cayenne, 1 pinch garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl.
• Whisk eggs in a second bowl.
• Combine panko bread crumbs with 1 pinch cayenne, 1 pinch garlic powder, salt, and pepper in another shallow bowl.
• Dip chicken thighs into the flour mixture, followed by beaten eggs, and then into the panko mixture. Transfer to the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until coating is golden and chicken thighs are no longer pink in the centers, about 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

OVEN FRIED PARMESAN CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a shallow glass dish or bowl, combine the crushed garlic with the melted butter or margarine. In another small bowl mix together the bread crumbs, cheese, parsley, salt and pepper. Dip chicken pieces into garlic butter, then into crumb mixture to coat.
• Place coated chicken pieces into a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Drizzle with remaining garlic butter and bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 1 to 1 1/4 hours, or until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.

PARMESAN-CRUSTED CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray.
• Combine Parmesan cheese, panko, and garlic powder in a shallow bowl and set aside.
• Sprinkle chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Brush skin liberally with mayonnaise. Press each thigh, skin-side down, into crumb mixture. Place thighs on baking sheet, skin-side up, and mist lightly with cooking spray.
• Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, 35 to 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

OVEN FRIED CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Place the chicken parts in a shallow dish, whisk together the buttermilk and pepper, pour over the chicken. Set aside.
• Next we're going to set up our assembly line. In a container with a tight fitting lid add the flour, salt, and pepper. Give this a good shake (with the lid on!) and set aside. Next, in a microwave safe shallow dish add the olive oil and butter, microwave just long enough to melt the butter, it took between 20 - 30 seconds in my microwave. Set next to the flour container. In another lidded container place the final three ingredients, close the lid and give it a good shake. Grab a baking sheet and line it with foil. Normally I'm all about a little olive oil or cooking spray, but humor me. If you are completely texture oriented and need the chicken as crispy as humanly possible get a baking rack to place over the sheet.
• Preheat the oven to 375°F.
• Find something to do for 5 minutes or so. Go wild, plan a side dish.
• Starting with the smallest pieces: wings, drumsticks, thighs, then breasts, place one or two pieces in the flour container and give it a good shake. One at a time, remove the pieces from the flour, shaking off any excess, and dip in the oil / butter mixture. Shake the pieces again and add to the final container, giving a good shake to coat the piece evenly. Place on the baking sheet or rack.
• Once all of the pieces have moved through your assembly line place in the oven for 40 - 60 minutes. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the largest pieces have reached 165°F If using a whole chicken it may be necessary to cook the breasts longer than the wings and drumsticks, simply set them aside on a paper towel. If the coating on larger pieces looks as though it may brown too quickly, use a small piece of foil as a tent to shield the coating.
• Serve immediately.
