How to Make Nif's Parmesan Chicken Thighs

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut chicken thighs in half, through the bone, if desired.
  2. Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top. This allows for even cooking and extra crispiness.
  3. In a shallow dish, whisk together 1 large egg and 1/4 cup milk. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. In a separate shallow dish, combine 1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, and 1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt.
  5. Dip each chicken thigh into the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
  6. Dredge the chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Ensure the chicken is fully coated.
  7. Place the breaded chicken thighs on the prepared wire rack, leaving some space between each piece.
  8. Lightly spray the chicken with olive oil cooking spray.
  9. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 170°F (77°C) and is golden brown and crispy.
