Parmesan-Crusted Chicken Thighs

Juicy chicken thighs are topped with a Parmesan-panko mixture, which ensures a crispy, crunchy crust. I normally prefer to use freshly grated Parmesan cheese in my dishes, however I find the shaker-style grated Parmesan works best in this recipe.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • nonstick cooking spray

  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • ¼ cup panko bread crumbs

  • ¾ teaspoon garlic powder

  • 4 (6 ounce) bone-in, skin on chicken thighs

  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

  • ¼ cup mayonnaise

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray.

  2. Combine Parmesan cheese, panko, and garlic powder in a shallow bowl and set aside.

  3. Sprinkle chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Brush skin liberally with mayonnaise. Press each thigh, skin-side down, into crumb mixture. Place thighs on baking sheet, skin-side up, and mist lightly with cooking spray.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, 35 to 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
