I used chicken thighs (bone in & skin on)for this awesome chicken! Used panko bread crumbs, omitted the butter, added some heat to the flour mixture and gave them a sprinkling of smoked Grana Padano during the last 10 minutes of baking. This chicken is so juicy, tender and so crunchy! Will be made again for sure! UPDATE 4/24/20: This chicken never fails to be awesome!! Thank you Donners for sharing!
