Ingredients
  

  • 6 pieces bone-in skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce (optional)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top. Lightly grease the rack.
  • In a large bowl, mix buttermilk and hot sauce. Add chicken thighs, coating well. Marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
  • In a shallow dish, combine flour, panko breadcrumbs, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Remove chicken from buttermilk, letting excess drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, pressing to coat.
  • Place coated chicken on the prepared rack. Drizzle olive oil or melted butter over the top of each thigh for crispiness.
  • Bake for 35–45 minutes or until chicken is golden brown and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
