Place crackers and French-fried onions in a large resealable bag. Seal bag, squeezing out air, and crush finely with a rolling pin. Add paprika, salt, sage, and pepper to the bag; toss to combine. Remove half of the crumb mixture from bag.

Beat together eggs and water in a bowl.

Dip chicken thighs in egg mixture, one at a time, then add to the bag, seal bag and shake to coat in the crumb mixture. Set chicken on the prepared baking pan and coat generously with cooking spray. When you have coated half of the chicken thighs, add the remaining crumb mixture back to the bag, and continue coating the remaining chicken.
