How to Make Baked Fried Chicken Thighs
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels. This helps the breading adhere better.
- In a shallow dish, whisk together eggs and milk.
- In a separate shallow dish, combine flour, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and red pepper flakes.
- Dip each chicken thigh in the egg mixture, then dredge in the flour mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
- Place chicken thighs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Lightly spray with cooking spray.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown and crispy. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
- Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
