Remember how I told you I had a huge aversion to mustard? Well, now I can basically guzzle it down on its own, especially with this honey mustard glaze.

But the true star here is the chicken – the crisp-tender chicken thighs that are completely baked from start to finish. There’s absolutely no searing or frying here.

The secret to this makeover for that amazing “fried”-crispness is to coat these bad boys in Panko bread crumbs and vegetable oil. That’s it! Easy peasy, right? And you get to save on a ton of calories and fat too!

Ingredients

  • 8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 1 ½ cups Panko*
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves

For the honey mustard glaze

  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat with nonstick spray.
  • To make the honey mustard glaze, whisk together mayonnaise, honey and mustards in a small bowl; set aside.
  • Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and milk. In another large bowl, combine Panko, paprika and vegetable oil; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Working one at a time, dredge chicken in the flour, dip into the egg mixture, then dredge in the Panko mixture, pressing to coat.
  • Place chicken onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the chicken is completely cooked through.
  • Serve immediately with honey mustard glaze, garnished with parsley, if desired.

Notes

*Panko is a Japanese-style breadcrumb and can be found in the Asian section of your local grocery store.
