Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly coat with nonstick cooking spray. (5 minutes)

02

Step
2 mins

In a shallow bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese, panko bread crumbs, and garlic powder. Mix well to ensure even distribution. (2 minutes)

03

Step
3 mins

Season the chicken thighs generously on both sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper. (3 minutes)

04

Step
3 mins

Brush the skin of each chicken thigh liberally with mayonnaise, ensuring full coverage. (3 minutes)

05

Step
5 mins

Press each chicken thigh, skin-side down, into the Parmesan-panko mixture, ensuring the crust adheres firmly. Place the coated thighs on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side up. Mist lightly with cooking spray. (5 minutes)

06

Step
40 mins

Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork, approximately 35 to 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part should register at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). (40 minutes)

For enhanced flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the Parmesan-panko mixture.
Ensure the chicken thighs are patted dry before applying mayonnaise for better crust adhesion.
For extra crispy skin, broil the chicken for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, keeping a close watch to prevent burning.

    This recipe is a lifesaver! So easy and the chicken is always so moist.
