Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.

Step 2

Set out 3 separate bowls to create a breading station for the chicken. In the first bowl, combine the flour, ½ teaspoon salt, and pepper. In the second bowl, beat the eggs and water together. In the third bowl, combine the bread crumbs, remaining salt, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Step 3

Dredge each chicken thigh in the flour mixture. Make sure each thigh is fully coated. Dip the chicken thighs in the egg mixture and then in the seasoned bread crumbs.

Step 4

Place the chicken thighs onto the prepared pan. Drizzle olive oil on top of the thighs.

Step 5

Bake for 20-25 minutes until the chicken is crispy and golden brown on the outside and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F. Serve and enjoy!
