Parmesan Crusted Chicken Thighs

This tasty chicken recipe is sure to please, the skin is crispy and the meat is so juicy and tender.



INGREDIENTS
3 pounds bone in skin on chicken thighs
1/3 cup chickpea flour
1/4 cup rice flour
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons cornmeal
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup Italian Salad Dressing (I use Kraft)

DIRECTIONS
Place the chicken pieces in a large bowl and pour the Italian Salad Dressing over the chicken; rub the dressing onto the chicken pieces making sure they are all coated and place in refrigerator for 4 to 6 hours.
Mix the remaining ingredients together in a large plastic bag and shake to mix until blended.
Add the chicken pieces a few at a time and toss to coat; shake off excess flour mixture and place on a lightly greased, rimmed baking sheet.
Cook in a 350 degree Fahrenheit oven for 50 to 60 minutes or until cooked through and juices run clear when poked with a fork. (This will depend on how thick the pieces are)
Enjoy!

  1. This chicken is fabulous! I haven't had skin on chicken at home in a while, and I'll have to go back to it now that I've tasted this recipe. I'm not gluten free so I did use regular wheat flour, and I realized after I got started that I didn't have regular Italian dressing. I subbed a balsamic vinaigrette which worked fine and didn't end up giving it any balsamic flavor, so I think any oil based dressing will probably work. Otherwise I stuck to the recipe, marinating the chicken in a ziplock and cutting it down to 2 thighs using half the other ingredients. The cooking time was perfect and this made some of the juiciest chicken I've had in a long time.

    2. Made it again last night. This time with white wheat flour and cornmeal in an 8x8 glass dish. And used an Asiago oil style dressing. Still wonderful!

  2. We liked the flavor of this chicken. It is very juicy and tender. We couldn't get ours very crispy. The marinade was a light flavor not overpowering. by LL
