Tender, Crispy Oven Baked Chicken Thighs
Description
This recipe produces oven-baked chicken thighs with a thick, crispy coating by combining panko breadcrumbs, cornstarch, and a variety of dried herbs and spices including celery salt, onion powder, paprika, and garlic powder. The chicken thighs are first moistened then shaken in the seasoned mixture inside sealed bags, ensuring an even, thorough coating.
Baking at a high temperature crisps up the breading while cooking the thighs through to a safe internal temperature. The result is a contrast between the crispy crust and tender chicken meat underneath.
This dish can be served hot as a main course and the remaining seasoned breading mix can be stored refrigerated in an airtight container for up to three weeks for future use. The recipe notes that calorie estimates are approximate based on breading amounts and brand variations.
