Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 F and line a baking sheet with foil, placing a rack on top.
Pat 8 bone-in chicken thighs dry and season with 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
In a small bowl, combine 5 tablespoons melted butter, 3 tablespoons mustard, 2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup, and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder.
In a separate shallow bowl, mix 1 1/4 cups panko, 1/3 cup Parmesan, 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, and 2 teaspoons dried parsley.
Brush each chicken thigh with the butter mixture, then press into the panko mixture to coat completely.
