These Crispy Oven Fried Chicken Thighs are a great alternative to traditional frying! They are easy to make — don't forget to add the honey mustard sauce!
1½cupsfinely crushed cornflakes (I like to do this by placing in a resealable plastic bag and using a rolling pin to crush)
¼cupolive oil
HONEY MUSTARD SAUCE
2tablespoonsmayonnaise
2tablespoonshoney
1tablespoonDijon mustard
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
In a shallow dish combine the flour, salt, onion powder, garlic powder and paprika. In a second shallow dish combine the eggs and milk. In a third shallow dish combine the crushed cornflakes and olive oil.
Dredge one chicken thigh in the flour mixture coating all sides. Dip into the egg wash coating all sides. Dredge in the cornflake mixture coating all sides. Place on a large baking sheet. Repeat with remaining chicken thighs. Bake for 45 minutes or until an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
OPTIONAL HONEY MUSTARD SAUCE: In a small bowl combine the mayonnaise, honey and dijon mustard.
Notes
If using a food processor to make your cornflake crumbs be careful not to process too fine.
Panko breadcrumbs can be substituted for the cornflakes.
Chicken can be soaked in buttermilk overnight.
Can use cut up chicken pieces as well.
