- Cuisine: American
Ingredients
- Mayonnaise – a generous tablespoon for each thigh
- Dry, seasoned breadcrumbs (gluten-free works well here) – a generous tablespoon for each thigh
- Small- to medium-size bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs – as many as you want
Instructions
- Centre the oven rack, and preheat the oven to 220°C.
- Put the mayonnaise and the breadcrumbs in separate bowls to avoid contaminating their containers.
- Arrange the chicken pieces on the prepared baking sheet. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Spoon a dollop of the mayonnaise on each thigh, and spread it out with the back of the spoon. Sprinkle on the breadcrumbs, and then press them down with the back of a spoon to glue them in place.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the breadcrumbs turn deep golden brown – about 30 minutes.
