Crispy Oven Fried Chicken Thighs. Bone in skinless chicken thighs coated in seasoned panko breadcrumbs then baked until super crispy. So much healthier and just as good as the fried version! Ready in less than one hour!
Crispy Oven Fried Chicken
You don’t need a deep fryer to make crispy chicken at home! These Oven Fried Chicken Thighs come out super crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. You would never know this chicken was made in the oven! Baking the chicken saves on calories and makes this recipe even healthier. To get the crispy breading I start by coating the chicken in all purpose flour, egg then seasoned panko breadcrumbs. Then I bake in a hot oven until golden brown and crispy. Using bone in chicken thighs helps to keep the chicken juicy and tender. You can substitute drumsticks, breasts or tenders if your prefer. Just shorten the cooking time to 20 minutes or so.
Best of all this recipe can be made in less than an hour! To make this a meal you could bake the chicken on a sheet tray instead of the pan and add veggies or potatoes to make it a one pan sheet meal! Broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, squash or baby potatoes would all cook up perfectly alongside the fried chicken!
What makes the chicken super crispy
- High heat: I turn the oven up to 400 degrees. This helps the chicken cook fast and helps the breading get golden brown.
- Removing the skin: Using skinless bone in chicken thighs helps ensure the breading will stick onto the chicken and keeps the chicken from being too greasy.
- Panko breadcrumbs: Add the perfect amount of crunch and brown up beautifully!
How long do you cook oven fried chicken
- Bone in chicken thighs: Take about 40-45 minutes in the oven depending on the size or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165.
- Chicken breasts: 20-25 minutes depending on the size or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165.
- Boneless chicken thighs: Take about 30 minutes in the oven or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165.
- Drumsticks: About 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165.
How to make Oven Fried Chicken
- Preheat oven: To 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- Season the chicken: Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper on the chicken thighs and toss to coat. Set aside.
- Bread the chicken: In a small bowl add the flour and set aside. In another small bowl combine the eggs, milk, dijon and hot sauce, set aside. Add breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder and paprika to a small bowl and mix to combine. Working in a line start by dipping chicken one at a time in the flour, egg, then panko breadcrumbs.
- Bake: Place on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 40-45 minutes or until fully cooked and golden brown.
- Serve: Immediately with your favorite dipping sauces! I love serving the chicken with Spicy Ketchup, Homemade Ranch Dressing or Honey Mustard for dipping!
- Store: Leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Reheat: To reheat the baked fried chicken simply place it back in a 350 degree oven on a baking sheet lined with a wire rack until the internal temperature reach 165 degrees.
