Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or a light coating of oil.

Crush the corn flakes into smaller pieces using a food processor or by hand.

Set up a breading station with three bowls: one for flour, one for beaten eggs, and one for crushed corn flakes.

Season the flour with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.

Coat each chicken thigh in the seasoned flour, shaking off excess.

Dip the floured chicken into the beaten eggs, ensuring even coverage.

Press the chicken thighs into the crushed corn flakes, coating thoroughly.

Place the coated chicken thighs on the prepared baking sheet.

Drizzle olive oil over the chicken for added crispiness.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown.

For extra crispiness, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes if desired.

Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.

Garnish with fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice.
