Instructions

1. 1
   Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
2. 2
   Combine flour, 1 pinch cayenne, 1 pinch garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl. Beat eggs in a second bowl. Combine panko bread crumbs with remaining 1 pinch cayenne, remaining 1 pinch garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a third bowl.
3. 3
   Dredge chicken thighs in flour mixture; shake off excess. Dip into egg, then press into panko mixture to coat both sides. Transfer breaded thighs to the prepared pan.
4. 4
   Bake thighs in the preheated oven until golden brown and no longer pink in center, about 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
