Creating your own Sheet Pan Crispy Parmesan Garlic Chicken is effortless if you follow these straightforward steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high heat is essential for achieving that crispy texture.
2. Prepare the Sheet Pan: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
3. Mix Topping: In a medium bowl, combine the grated parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, minced garlic, oregano, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using).
4. Prepare Chicken: Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. This step is crucial for achieving a nice crisp during baking.
5. Coat Chicken: Drizzle olive oil over the chicken thighs, then generously coat them with the parmesan mixture, pressing it onto the meat to adhere well.
6. Arrange on Sheet Pan: Place the coated chicken thighs on the prepared sheet pan, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
7. Bake: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and is golden brown.
8. Garnish: Once cooked, remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

By following these steps, you’ll create a dish that’s both incredibly delicious and easy to make, ensuring a successful dinner every time.
