4tablespoonsparmesan cheesegrated. Full tablespoons.
1tablespoondried chili flakes
sea salt
freshly ground pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 190°C / 380°F.
Season the chicken thighs with sea salt and pepper. Fold the thigh edges under for a more tidy, round look. Place them in a baking pan.
In a bowl, mix well the mayo, parmesan, and dried chili flakes.
Place a full tablespoon of the mayo - cheese mix on each chicken thigh. You can sprinkle some more dried chili flakes all over if you like.
Bake for 45 min or until the top is golden brown and the chicken is cooked through.
Remove the chicken thighs to a wiring rack to drain from all the extra fat and serve immediately.
Notes
This recipe doesn’t use any oil because it cooks in the fat from the mayonnaise and grated parmesan cheese.
I prefer to use chicken thighs for this recipe. I get organic, free-range chicken thighs with no skin or bones. Feel free to use skinless chicken breasts if you like. Adjust the cooking time accordingly because breasts cook longer than thighs.
The classic Hellmann's mayonnaise is one of the best mayos out there. I have tried several, and Hellmann's makes the best parmesan crust.
