Thinly slice dark green parts of scallions to measure about 2 tablespoons and set aside. Add to melted butter and microwave for 1 more minute, stopping to stir occasionally. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios Dotdash Meredith Food Studios Stir together panko, Parmesan cheese, cayenne, and paprika in a small bowl until well combined. Drizzle with butter mixture and stir together until panko is moistened and evenly coated. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios Use the back of a spoon to spread 1/2 tablespoons Dijon mustard over top and sides of each chicken thigh. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios Carefully sprinkle 2 to 3 tablespoons panko mixture over mustard coating on top and sides of each chicken thigh; gently press to adhere. Arrange chicken on a rimmed baking sheet about 1 1/2- to 2-inches apart. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center, juices run clear, and panko mixture is golden brown, 40 to 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from oven, let stand for 5 minutes, and serve warm. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios Cook's Note: If you are using boneless chicken thighs, reduce the cook time by 10 to 15 minutes.
