Five Ingredient Crispy Boneless Chicken Thighs Your Family Will Love

Image
Donna Urso
Does your family like chicken for dinner?  Chicken is a dinner favorite at my house.  In the past few years, I have been cooking more and more of our family dinners using boneless chicken thighs.

I think chicken thighs are more flavorful than chicken breasts so I started substituting chicken thighs in many recipes where I previously used chicken breasts.   My family prefers our favorite chicken dishes with chicken thighs. Now I find myself thinking about how many ways I can use chicken thighs.

With only five ingredients, this recipe for oven-baked chicken thighs only takes a couple of minutes to prepare. That makes this recipe perfect for a busy weeknight dinner.

Why You'll Love This Crispy Baked Chicken Recipe

This crispy boneless chicken thighs recipe is a family-friendly favorite.  It is a dish that is quick and easy to prepare and is packed with a lot of flavors.  

Marinating the chicken thighs in an oil-based Italian salad dressing tenderizes and flavors the meat.  

Coating the thighs in herb and Parmesan cheese-flavored bread crumbs adds a crispy crunch and much more flavor.

This recipe scales easily from four to many.  Just maintain the ratio of ingredients for every four adults.

I like to serve these crispy boneless chicken thighs with green beans and oven-roasted cauliflower, making this a healthy and well-balanced dinner.

Tips for Crispy Chicken Success  

1. Boneless, skinless chicken thighs work best for this recipe.

2. Choose an oil-based Italian dressing with lots of herbs and spices as your marinade.  It will enhance the flavor of the dinner.

3. Don't crowd the thighs on your baking sheet.  Spread them apart for crispier thighs.

    They look delicious but I hate to run my oven too long because of cost. Have you by any chance tried this recipe cooked in an air fryer?

      No, I haven't made these in an air fryer but I think they absolutely would work in an air fryer.

Coffee and Dessert-A Perfect Pairing

Donna Urso
Coffee and dessert go hand in hand like peanut butter and jelly, night and day, or Thelma and Louise. I've teamed up with three blogging friends who love coffee and dessert as much as I do to bring you three of their favorite fall desserts to pair with three specialty coffee drinks I've made in the Ninja Coffee Bar System. I was very excited to receive this Ninja Coffee Bar System (Model CF092) to review.  I am by no means a coffee snob but I do like a good cup of coffee.  I also like a coffee maker that is easy to use and can be depended on to produce a consistent cup of coffee day in and day-out.  In the past few years, I have used a Keurig single-serving system, a French press, and a Cuisinart drip coffee maker. The Keurig is sitting on a shelf in my basement, the French press is on a high shelf in the kitchen and the Cuisinart sits in my beverage center waiting for me to return to it while I take the Ninja Coffee Bar System for a test drive.   I have...
