Description

These baked chicken thighs are breaded in panko

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/3 teaspoons ground black pepper, divided
1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup milk
1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
1 1/2 cups unseasoned panko bread crumbs
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon granulated onion
8 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
2 Combine flour, 2/3 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/3 teaspoon kosher salt in a shallow bowl.
3 Combine beaten eggs, milk, Sriracha sauce, 1/3 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/3 teaspoon kosher salt in a second shallow bowl.
4 Combine panko bread crumbs, paprika, remaining 1/3 teaspoon black pepper, remaining 1/3 teaspoon kosher salt, garlic powder, and granulated onion in a third shallow bowl.
5 Dredge chicken thighs in flour mixture, dip in egg mixture, and press into panko mixture to coat, shaking off excess after each step. Place coated chicken thighs, skin-side up, onto the prepared baking sheet.
6 Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
