Crispy Baked Chicken Thighs

A delicious and simple recipe with tender juicy chicken and a buttery-crisp topping!

📝 Ingredients

• 8 chicken thighs (boneless, skinless)
• 1 stick butter (8 tablespoons)
• rice krispie cereal
• Lawry's Seasoned Salt
• lemon pepper
• garlic powder
• onion powder

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Preheat oven to 400℉.
2. 2Pat chicken dry and use a clean pair of kitchen shears (or a pair of regular scissors that's been washed with soap and hot water- just pop them in the dishwasher after) to trim off any excess fat.
3. 3Melt butter in a shallow dish. Pour several cups of Rice Krispie cereal in a separate dish. Use your hands to very lightly crush the cereal just a few times.
4. 4Dip each chicken piece in butter on both sides and then dip the top side in the cereal. Use your had to press a little more cereal onto the top and then place on a baking sheet.
5. 5When all chicken pieces have been placed on the baking sheet, sprinkle all pieces with each spice (seasoning salt, lemon pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.)I just eyeball this, you can too! If there is any extra butter in your dish you can gently drizzle it over the chicken.
6. 6Bake for 20-30 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 175-185℉, and also the cereal is golden brown and crisp. If you have convection mode on your oven, I like to cook it on convection for the last few minutes to get it nice and crispy.
