Chicken Thighs, which are Parmesan Crusted, is next in our Chicken Thighs series.
This is a simple Oven-Baked bone-in Chicken Thigh, with a Parmesan Crust. Dipped in a butter-wash instead of an egg-wash, and coated with an herbaceous Parmesan spice rub. Serve these Parmesan Crusted Chicken Thighs with coleslaw and roasted potatoes, for an easy weeknight meal.
Cooking Thighs at High Heat
Cooking the chicken thighs at high heat ensures that they get crispy skin. But a crispy skin doesn’t help if it is not fully cooked. By cooking at 400 and checking the internal temperature after 30 minutes, you make sure your chicken is ready to eat. A reminder – all ovens are different, so adjust the timing as needed. Then make sure the temperature of the chicken thighs reads 165 on a meat thermometer before serving.
Chicken Thighs vs Chicken Breasts
I prefer chicken thighs to chicken breasts in almost every case. Breasts dry out quicker and have less flavor than thighs. This recipe will showcase the thighs ease of cooking and will stay moist for a great meal. Using a butter wash instead of an egg wash gives another depth of flavor.
Be sure to watch both parts of our two-part series – Chicken Thigh vs Breast. Part 1 about Chicken Breasts can her found here. Part 2, Chicken Thighs, can be found here. You will see the difference between thighs and breasts. We give several different ways to cook both types of chicken.
