Panko 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.

PANKO CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
• Place flour in a medium bowl. Crack both eggs into a similar bowl, add the water, and whisk with a fork until they take on a uniform consistency. Place panko bread crumbs in a third bowl, add adobo seasoning and rosemary, and mix. Set the bowls so the flour is on the left, the egg wash is in the center, and the bread crumbs are on the right.
• Dredge both sides of thighs in flour, shaking off excess. Dip in egg wash, turning over to coat both sides. Let excess drip off. Drop into bread crumbs, rolling to coat evenly. Place on the prepared baking sheet. The chicken should move from bowl to bowl in a line from left to right, with no jumps back left. Repeat with remaining chicken.
• Bake thighs in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
