Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, 2/3 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/3 teaspoon of kosher salt. Mix well. (2 minutes)

03

Step

In a second shallow bowl, whisk together the beaten eggs, milk, Sriracha sauce, 1/3 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/3 teaspoon of kosher salt. (3 minutes)

04

Step

In a third shallow bowl, combine the panko bread crumbs, paprika, remaining 1/3 teaspoon of black pepper, remaining 1/3 teaspoon of kosher salt, garlic powder, and granulated onion. Ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed. (3 minutes)

05

Step

Dredge each chicken thigh in the flour mixture, ensuring it's fully coated. Then, dip it into the egg mixture, letting any excess drip off. Finally, press the thigh into the panko mixture, making sure the bread crumbs adhere well to all surfaces. Place the coated chicken thighs, skin-side up, onto the prepared baking sheet. (15 minutes)

06

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). (45 minutes)

For extra crispy skin, place the baking sheet under the broiler for the last few minutes of cooking, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
Feel free to adjust the amount of Sriracha to suit your spice preference. A dash of cayenne pepper in the panko mixture can also add extra heat.
If you don't have panko breadcrumbs, regular breadcrumbs can be used, but the texture won't be quite as crispy.
For best results, pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels before dredging. This helps the flour mixture adhere better.

    My kids loved this! I used a little less Sriracha for them, and they devoured it.

  • Anissa Braun

    I added a bit of honey to the Sriracha mixture for a sweet and spicy flavor. It was a huge hit!

    This recipe is a lifesaver on busy weeknights! The chicken comes out perfectly crispy and juicy every time.

  • Celine Rogahn

    The panko breading is the key to the amazing crunch. So much better than using regular breadcrumbs!
