Ingredients

  • 8 Large bone, skin chicken thighs
  • 2 tbsp. Baking powder
  • 1/2 tbsp. Kosher salt
  • 1 tsp Smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp Oregano
  • 1/2 tsp Onion powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 250F.
  2. Cover a baking sheet with foil edges and put a wire rack on it. Apply cooking spray to the wire rack.
  3. Remove any excess skin or fat from each chicken thigh using a sharp knife.
  4. Mix all the spices and baking powder in a small bowl.
  5. Place the chicken in a container or plastic bag and add the seasoning mixture on top. Close the container or bag and shake it thoroughly, ensuring the chicken thighs are coated evenly with the seasoning. Then take the chicken from the bag and place it on the wire rack with the skin facing upwards.
  6. Put the chicken in the oven’s center and bake for 30 minutes. Then, raise the oven temperature to 425 F, shift the rack to one level, and bake for another 25-30 minutes or until the chicken turns golden and crispy. To confirm that the chicken is thoroughly cooked, use a thermometer to check that it has an internal temperature of 165 F.
