How to Make Super Easy Oven Baked Chicken Thighs

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon curry powder until smooth.
  3. Spread 1 ½ cups crushed cornflake crumbs on a sheet of waxed paper.
  4. Brush each chicken thigh generously with the mustard mixture, ensuring both sides are coated. Then, press the chicken thighs firmly into the cornflake crumbs to coat completely.
  5. Place the coated chicken thighs on a shallow baking sheet. Bake on the center rack for 35-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear. Bone-in thighs may require the full 40 minutes, while boneless may cook slightly faster.
  6. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
