Serves: 8
Ingredients
  • 2 cups Panko breadcrumbs
  • 1½ teaspoons salt
  • 1½ teaspoons paprika
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 8 bone in, skin on chicken thighs
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place a wire rack on the baking sheet. Spray the wire rack with cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, combine breadcrumbs, salt, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and olive oil. Mix until well combined.
  3. Place a cup of the breadcrumb mixture in a zip top bag. Working with one chicken thigh at a time, place the chicken in a the zip top bag, carefully close the bag, and shake the bag so that the chicken is well coated in the breadcrumb mixture. Place chicken in a single layer on the wire rack. Repeat with remaining chicken.
  4. Bake until chicken is cooked through, and has reached an internal temperature of 165 F, about 45-60 minutes. There is no need to flip the chicken half way through.
  5. Serve hot.
Notes
The unused breadcrumb mixture that was not used to coat the chicken can be stored in the refrigerator for a few months, and used another time. Any breadcrumb mixture that was in the zip top bag, that may have touched the chicken should be discarded.
