- 1 cup breadcrumbs preferably Italian seasoned
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Cooking Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a bowl, mix together the grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs until smooth. This will be your egg wash for the chicken.
- Dip each chicken thigh into the egg wash, ensuring it’s fully coated. Allow excess egg to drip off, then dredge the thigh in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
- Place the coated chicken thighs skin-side up on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil over the top for added crispiness.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the coating is golden brown and crispy.
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. This helps retain juices for a tender bite.
