Crispy Mustard-Crusted Chicken Thighs

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Mustard-Crusted Chicken Thighs.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C) and set a rack on a rimmed baking sheet to catch any delicious drippings.

2. Step 2

   While the oven warms up, take a moment to trim any excess fat from your chicken thighs, then sprinkle them lightly with adobo seasoning and a dash of ground black pepper for that extra flavor kick.

3. Step 3

   In a shallow bowl, blend together Dijon mustard and melted butter until you have a smooth, glossy mixture that looks irresistible.

4. Step 4

   In another bowl, mix dry bread crumbs with grated Parmesan cheese, creating a savory coating that will add a delightful crunch.

5. Step 5

   Now, it’s time to get hands-on! Dip each chicken thigh into the Dijon mixture, making sure they’re evenly coated, then roll them in the breadcrumb mixture until they’re well covered.

6. Step 6

   Place the coated chicken thighs on your prepared baking sheet, and for a little extra crispiness, give the tops a light spray with nonstick cooking spray.

7. Step 7

   Slide the baking sheet into your preheated oven and let the magic happen for about 30 to 35 minutes.

8. Step 8

   You’ll know they’re ready when the chicken is no longer pink in the center, and an instant-read thermometer shows at least 165°F (74°C).

9. Step 9

   Once they’re perfectly cooked, sprinkle some minced parsley on top for a fresh touch before serving.

10. Step 10

    Enjoy the delightful aroma and the satisfying crunch of your deliciously baked chicken thighs!.
