Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper, then place an oven-safe wire rack on top and spray it with nonstick spray.
  • In a small bowl, combine the baking powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  • Pat the chicken dry (the drier you can get it, then crispier it'll get!) then place it into a large bowl. Pour the seasonings over top and use your hands to completely coat the chicken.
  • Place the chicken on top of the wire rack, then place the baking sheet into the oven and bake the chicken for 35-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and wait 5 minutes before cutting. Enjoy!

Notes

*Calories are per chicken thigh and are an estimation
*Bone-in vs. boneless chicken thighs: Both bake at 425° but bone-in will take about 40 minutes, whereas boneless will bake in about 20 minutes. 
*Make sure you use a parchment-lined, rimmed baking sheet! That way, the chicken juices don't spill over and instead fall onto the parchment. It's also VERY helpful to use an oven-safe wire rack on top of that, which will ensure the bottom of the chicken doesn't get soggy.
