Ingredients:

  • 3 lbs bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Instructions:

  1. Pat the chicken thighs extremely dry using paper towels. For best results, leave the chicken uncovered in the fridge for 2 hours prior to cooking to air-dry the skin.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the baking powder, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  3. Lightly coat the chicken thighs with olive oil and sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the skin and under the skin.
  4. Place a wire rack inside a rimmed baking sheet and arrange the thighs skin-side up.
  5. Roast in a preheated oven at 425°F (218°C) for 35-40 minutes until the skin is deep mahogany-gold and sounds hollow when tapped.
  6. Remove from the oven and let the meat rest on a plate for 5-10 minutes before serving.
