📝 Ingredients

• 8 skinless chicken legs or thighs
• 1 1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

• 3/4 cup flour (seasoned with a pinch of salt and pepper)
• olive oil mister or cooking spray

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Set up your breading station so you can quickly and easily bread the chicken.
2. 2Add 1 teaspoon of salt, the paprika, garlic powder, black pepper and the thyme to the panko. Mix it up to combine and distribute the spices.
3. 3Season the flour with a pinch of salt and pepper and stir to combine. Beat the eggs and add 1 tablespoon of water to loosen them up a little.
4. 4Dip the skinless leg or thigh into the flour, then into the egg, and finally, into the breadcrumbs.
5. 5Place the breaded chicken pieces onto a baking sheet lined with a baking rack, and spray them with cooking spray on both sides.
6. 6Bake the chicken for 40-45 minutes, until golden, crunchy, and cooked through. Flip the chicken once throughout cooking. Serve hot.
