Main Ingredients

  • 2 pounds chicken thighs bone-in, skin-on
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • In a bowl, mix together salt, pepper, paprika, and olive oil. Rub this mixture on the chicken thighs ensuring they are well coated.
  • Dip each thigh into the bread crumbs, pressing to adhere.
  • Place the chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crispy.

Notes

Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving to retain its juices.
