Scale
Marinade
- 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (fat-free or regular)
- 1/2 teaspoon Crystal Hot Sauce (or your favorite hot sauce)
- 1/4 cup cold water
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless, chicken thighs
Crispy Coating:
- 4 cups corn flakes (I love Trader Joe’s Organic Corn Flakes)
- 1/4 cup gluten-free flour
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
- 1/4 cup melted butter (for drizzling during cooking)
- 1 tablespoon Italian parsley, chopped
EASY CHICKEN GRAVY:
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons gluten-free or regular flour
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh thyme
- kosher salt and cracked black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together yogurt, hot sauce, water, salt, and pepper. Rinse and pat dry chicken then add to yogurt marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 350F degrees.
- In the bowl of a food processor, add corn flakes, flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper and pulse 10-15 times. Pour into a large shallow bowl.
- Remove chicken from yogurt marinade letting excess liquid drop off. Thoroughly dredge in cornflake mixture and set on a cookie sheet lined with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
- Bake for 30 minutes, then drizzle each chicken thigh with melted butter. Continue baking for 20 minutes or until temp reads 165 degrees.
- Garnish with chopped parsley.
CHICKEN GRAVY
- In a small pot, melt butter then whisk in the flour a little at a time to make a roux. Cook roux for 2-3 minutes and remove to a small bowl.
- In the same small pot, heat the chicken broth to a simmer and whisk in the roux a little at a time until you get the desired consistency. Season with salt, pepper, and fresh thyme. Drizzle over the crispy chicken.
