Crispy Chicken Thighs

Crispy Chicken Thighs

with a Cucumber Tomato Salad and Brown Butter Corn

Fried chicken is the ultimate comfort food. The only problem? All that grease and, well, frying. Our chefs found a way around this by coating chicken thighs with panko breadcrumbs and sour cream. The combination of this richly flavored cut of meat and a super-easy breading technique reproduces the impeccable crispiness of the Southern classic without the gallons of oil.

Instructions

Preheat and Prep
1

Wash and dry all produce. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut corn kernels from cob. Thinly slice cucumbers into rounds. Halve tomatoes lengthwise. Thinly slice chives. Cut lemon into wedges.

2

Add cucumbers, tomatoes, vinegar, 1 TBSP chives, and a large drizzle of olive oil to a medium bowl and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside to marinate.

Crust Chicken
3

Combine panko, paprika, garlic powder, and a large pinch of salt and pepper in a large bowl. Place chicken, sour cream, and a large pinch of salt and pepper in another medium bowl and toss to coat. Press chicken into panko mixture, coating all over in crumbs.

Cook Chicken
4

Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat (use an ovenproof pan if you have one). Add chicken and cook until crumbs are browned, 3-4 minutes per side (TIP: Lower heat if crumbs brown too fast.) Transfer pan to oven and roast chicken until no longer pink in center, about 8 minutes (transfer chicken to a baking dish first if your pan isn’t ovenproof).

Cook Corn
5

Meanwhile, melt 1 TBSP butter in another large pan over medium heat. Add corn and cook, tossing, until corn is a deep golden and butter is slightly browned and nutty-smelling. Season with salt and pepper.

Plate and Serve
6

Divide corn, salad, and chicken between plates. Squeeze a bit of lemon juice over chicken. Garnish with remaining chives and serve.
