Recipe type: Simple Dinner
Cuisine: Chicken
Serves: 8
Ingredients
  • 8 boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 3-4 cups of rice crispies (Smash them slightly in a Ziploc bag or the cereal bag if there were only that many cups left anyway.
  • ½ cup of butter, melted
  • Your favorite seasonings (I use garlic salt and the 21 Seasoning Salute from Trader Joes)
  • Any seasoning you like will give it a great flavor (ex:lemon pepper, onion salt, garlic salt, regular seasoning salt, even just salt and pepper. You really can't go wrong.
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees
  2. Spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray and generously sprinkle the bottom of the pan with the seasonings you are choosing to use.
  3. Make sure the melted butter and slightly crushed rice crispies are in shallow pans that will make dipping easy.
  4. Take one chicken thigh and dip it in the melted butter making sure to cover the entire piece of chicken. Quickly dip it into the rice crispies and place it on the prepared/seasoned cooking sheet.
  5. Repeat with all other chicken. Once all of the pieces are coated. Sprinkle the top of the coated chicken with a generous amount of the seasonings you have chosen to use. If there is any butter left over from when you were dipping the chicken you can drizzle it over the chicken at this point before putting them in the oven.
  6. Bake for 40-60 minutes (depending on thickness of the thighs) or until internal temp reaches 165 degrees.
