Step 1

Preheat oven on 450F convection for 20 minutes.

Step 2

Sprinkle salt, pepper and baking powder over the chicken thighs. Gently rub the thighs with your hands to evenly spread the seasonings.

Step 3

Arrange the thighs on a baking sheet, lined with foil and fitted with a cooling rack. Using a cooling rack is optional but will help with keeping grease off the thighs.

Step 4

Bake the thighs at 450F convection for 20 minutes. The thighs should be browned and have a crispy skin.

Step 5

Combine the BBQ sauce, hot sauce and pressed garlic in a large bowl. Add cooked chicken thighs and toss. Transfer back to the baking sheet and bake for an additional 10 minutes at 450F convection.

Step 6

Remove the thighs from the oven and serve immediately with your favorite side dish.
