This Gluten-Free Crispy Chicken pairs perfectly with a cold pint at your favorite local brewery.

The smoked paprika and Parmesan add a savory depth, while the juicy chicken stays tender inside. Whether you're looking for a hearty snack or a casual dinner, this dish is ideal for sharing with friends over a couple of brews. The golden, crunchy exterior and zesty dip make each bite crave-worthy and totally gluten-free.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pat chicken thighs dry and cut into large bite-sized pieces.
In a shallow bowl, mix gluten-free flour, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
In a second bowl, whisk eggs.
In a third bowl, combine gluten-free panko and Parmesan cheese.
Dredge each chicken piece in the flour mixture, dip in the eggs, then coat thoroughly in the panko-Parmesan mix. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle or brush olive oil over the coated chicken pieces.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping once halfway, until golden and cooked through.
While the chicken bakes, mix mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, honey, and lemon juice in a small bowl to make the dip.
Serve chicken hot, garnished with parsley and lemon wedges, alongside the honey mustard dip.
