Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a large baking pan with foil, then lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray.
Step 2
Wash chicken thighs and trim excess fat and skin. Remove skin, if desired. Pat dry and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Combine melted butter with mustard, maple syrup, and garlic powder in a shallow bowl. Combine panko with Parmesan cheese, parsley, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in another shallow bowl.
Step 4
Brush or rub the chicken thighs with the butter-mustard mixture, then press into the panko mixture until thoroughly coated on all sides. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until juices run clear when chicken is pierced with a fork, 40 to 50 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
