Crispy Panko Chicken Thighs

My wife and I sort of invented this recipe, we think. Chicken should have great flavor and the panko breadcrumbs and olive oil will give it a great crunch! Our kids love it (which is high praise in this house). Hope you enjoy as well!

Ingredients

• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• cooking spray
• ¾ cup panko bread crumbs, or as needed
• 4 bone-in chicken thighs

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking pan with aluminum foil; coat with cooking spray.

Step 2

Combine mayonnaise and paprika in a bowl; mix well.

Step 3

Mix panko and garlic powder together in another bowl.

Step 4

Spread mayonnaise-paprika mixture on each chicken thigh; press into panko mixture to coat. Place in the prepared baking pan; spritz thighs with cooking spray.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
