Ingredients

  • 7-8 chicken thighs boneless, skinless
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon season salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon paprika

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven at 400ºF.

  3. In a separate shallow dish, combine eggs and water. Whisk well.

  9. Bake chicken thighs for 10 minutes. 
  10. Remove from oven, flip each chicken thigh over, and divide remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over the chicken thighs. 
  11. Bake an additional 10 minutes, or until the chicken thighs register 165ºF.
