For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder to the bread crumb mixture. If you prefer a spicier kick, incorporate a dash of cayenne pepper or a swirl of hot sauce into the Dijon mustard mixture. To prevent the chicken from drying out, you can marinate the thighs in the Dijon mixture for up to 30 minutes before coating and baking. Ensure the chicken is cooked all the way through.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Position a rack on a rimmed baking sheet to ensure even crisping. (5 minutes)
02
StepCarefully trim any excess fat from the chicken thighs. Lightly season with adobo seasoning and freshly ground black pepper. (5 minutes)
03
StepIn a shallow bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard and melted butter until smooth and emulsified, creating a luscious base for the crust. In a separate bowl, combine the dry bread crumbs and grated Parmesan cheese. (5 minutes)
04
StepDip each chicken thigh into the Dijon mixture, ensuring it's evenly coated. Then, dredge the thigh in the bread crumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Transfer the coated thighs to the prepared baking sheet and lightly spray the tops with nonstick cooking spray for extra crispness. (10 minutes)
05
StepBake in the preheated oven until the chicken is cooked through and the crust is golden brown, about 30 to 35 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should register at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
06
StepGarnish with freshly minced parsley to add a touch of freshness before serving.
