Crispy Panko Chicken Thighs

These panko chicken thighs have great flavor and crunch from bread crumbs and olive oil. My wife and I sort of invented this recipe — we think. Our kids love it (which is high praise in this house). Hope you enjoy it as well.

Ingredients

Ingredients List

  • cooking spray

  • 1 cup mayonnaise

  • 1 teaspoon paprika

  • ¾ cup panko bread crumbs, or as needed

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 4 bone-in chicken thighs


Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking dish with aluminum foil; grease with cooking spray.

  2. Combine mayonnaise and paprika in a bowl; mix well. Stir together panko and garlic powder in a second bowl.

  3. Spread mayonnaise mixture over each chicken thigh; press into panko mixture to coat. Place in the prepared baking dish; spritz thighs with cooking spray.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Tips

You may substitute cumin or other seasoning blends for paprika; adjust that seasoning and garlic powder to taste.
