Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, and minced garlic. Stir until well blended.

In another bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season them lightly with salt and pepper.

Step 5

Brush each chicken thigh generously with the mustard mixture until fully coated.

Step 6

Press each mustard-coated chicken thigh into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring an even coating on all sides.

Step 7

Place the breaded chicken thighs on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side up.

Step 8

Drizzle the tops of the chicken with olive oil and melted butter to help the crust achieve a golden, crispy texture.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and the crust is golden brown.

Step 10

Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 11

Serve warm with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
