Equipment

  • A baking sheet (lined with aluminum foil, if you wish, for easy clean up)

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

  • Center the oven rack, and preheat the oven to 425°F. 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, and the chicken registers 165°F when poked with an instant-read thermometer -- about 30 minutes.
