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.
