    Method: 

    Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top. Spray rack with oil.

    Place milk and egg in a shallow bowl and whisk to combine. Combine panko, Parmigiano Reggiano, thyme and salt in another shallow bowl. Coat 1 piece of chicken with egg mixture, and then roll in panko mixture, pressing gently to help coating adhere. Place on rack and repeat with remaining chicken. Discard any remaining egg and panko mixtures. Spray chicken lightly with oil and bake until crispy and cooked through, about 35 minutes.
