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.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a shallow bowl, combine the flour, 2/3 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/3 teaspoon of kosher salt. Mix well. (2 minutes)
03
StepIn 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
StepIn 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
StepDredge 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
StepBake 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)
