 chicken thigh recipes

Boneless chicken thighs are one of the most versatile cuts of chicken you can make. Unlike chicken breasts, which dry out easily and are costly, boneless chicken thighs are very forgiving and cost much less.

They are great for long cooking dishes, like slow cookers, soups and stews.  Here are a few of our favorites!

Crispy Oven Baked Chicken Thighs

When I need a good easy recipe for boneless chicken thighs, this is the recipe I usually go too. Oven baked to a crispy crunch.  Dredged in a simple concoction of butter and dijon then dipped in panko crumbs and parmesan.  Baked on a foil lined sheet pan for easy clean up.  This recipe never dissapoints.

I would say the secret ingredient to this Moroccon Chicken Stew are the Portobello mushrooms.  They deepen the flavor of the stew and give it a real meaty texture.   Another little secret weapon is a touch of cinnamon.

Ingredients

  • 6-8 boneless chicken thighs (bone in would be fine too just increase cooking time)
  • 4 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1/3 cup dijon mustard
  • 1 1/2 cups Panko crumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • honey for drizzle if desired

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a sheet pan with foil or parchment for easy clean up. Spray with non stick spray.
  • Rinse and pat dry chicken thighs - set aside.  Dryer the chicken, the more it will crisp up for you.
  • Mix together melted butter and dijon in a medium bowl. Combine Panko, parmesan, salt and pepper in another bowl.
  • Add chicken thighs to butter/dijon mixture and gently toss to be sure each piece of chicken is fully coated.  
  • Press each chicken thigh into Panko crumb mixture and place on prepared pan.
  • Spray top of coated chicken thighs with additional non stick spray.  This really helps those crumbs get crispy!
  • Bake 25-30 minutes until coating is crispy and brown and chicken is cooked though to an internal temp of 165 degrees.
  • Serve with a drizzle of honey if desired.  We like this with mashed potatoes and a side of steamed broccoli.

Notes

If using bone in chicken thighs increase cooking time to about 40 minutes.  Internal temp of chicken should be 165 degrees.
Air Fryer Instructions - preheat air fryer to 400 degrees.  Cook for 20 minutes flipping once.  Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the chicken.  Internal temp should be at 165 degrees.
