Oven Fried Chicken with Honey Mustard Glaze
Description
This dish uses boneless, skinless chicken thighs seasoned with salt and pepper, then dredged in flour, dipped in an egg and milk wash, and coated with a mixture of panko breadcrumbs, smoked paprika, vegetable oil, salt, and pepper. Baking at 375°F crisps the panko crust and cooks the chicken through while preserving juicy interior meat. The honey mustard glaze, made from mayonnaise, honey, and two types of mustard, is whisked together separately and served alongside or drizzled over the baked chicken. Fresh parsley garnish adds color and a hint of herbal brightness.
The combination of crispy panko coating and the glaze’s sweet and tangy flavors enhances the simple chicken thighs without frying oil. This preparation offers a balanced texture of crunchy exterior and moist, tender meat.
Serve immediately after baking for best texture, accompanied by sides of choice. The glaze can be used as a dip or brushed on. Fresh parsley garnish adds a visual and flavor accent.
Panko breadcrumbs provide a unique crunchy coating compared to regular breadcrumbs and can be found in the Asian section of grocery stores.
