Oven-Fried Chicken
Crispy, golden chicken without the deep-fry mess—this oven-baked version delivers that irresistible crunch using a seasoned breadcrumb coating and just enough oil for maximum flavor. Juicy thighs stay tender inside while paprika adds a subtle warmth to the exterior. A weeknight winner that families devour and that works just as well for casual entertaining.
