Crispy Baked Chicken Thighs
Crispy Baked Chicken Thighs deliver crackly, golden crust over juicy, tender meat, thanks to a flour-egg-breadcrumb coating seasoned with paprika, salt, and pepper. Baked on a thin slick of oil, they mimic the crunch of frying without the heavy feel. Serve for a comforting weeknight dinner or a casual gathering with your favorite sides.
