Parmesan Crusted Chicken Thighs
Recipe Information
Method
- Two days before, thaw frozen chicken thighs in insert pan in refrigerator at 4'C/40'F or lower.
- Preheat convection oven to 325'F/162'C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Stir together bread crumbs, grated parmesan cheese, parsley, paprika, oregano and salt in a shallow bowl.
- Pour melted margarine into a separate shallow bowl. Roll chicken thighs in margarine to coat. Immediately after, place chicken thighs into bread crumb mixture to coat all surfaces. Note: there will be some margarine remaining.
- Place coated chicken thighs on parchment lined baking sheets. Drizzle remaining melted margarine over chicken thighs. Bake for 30 minutes or until juices run clear when pricked with a fork and meat is no longer pink at the bone. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165'F/74'C for at least 15 seconds.
- Serve 1 each of the Parmesan Crusted Chicken Thigh.
