directions
Step 1
In food processor, blend potato chips until crumbs (or place in resealable plastic bag and use rolling pin to crush). Stir in parsley and paprika; transfer to large bowl.
Step 2
In separate bowl, stir together mayonnaise, mustard, salt, thyme and cayenne pepper; brush all over chicken. Roll in potato chip mixture until coated all over.
Step 3
Line rimmed baking sheet with foil; mist with cooking spray. Place chicken on sheet; bake in preheated 400°F (200°C) oven, turning once, until juices run clear when chicken is pierced and outside is crisp and golden, 35 to 40 minutes.
