Recipe Instructions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Combine mayonnaise and paprika in a bowl; mix well. Stir together panko and garlic powder in a second bowl.

Step 3

Spread mayonnaise mixture over each chicken thigh; press into panko mixture to coat. Place in the prepared baking dish; spritz thighs with cooking spray.

Step 4

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