Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees If you have a convection setting or air fryer setting use it if possible. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil sprayed with cooking oil.

Step 2

Dry bone in chicken thighs with paper towels well to remove any extra moisture.

Step 3

Place all the baking powder, paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper in a bowl. Mix the ingredients together.

Step 4

Rub the spice mix evenly over each thigh.

Step 5

Lay the chicken thighs on the pan. Leave a few inches of space between each piece.

Step 6

Bake for 30-40 minutes, using the convection or air fryer setting if you have it. If you don't have a convection or air fryer setting the chicken may take an extra few minutes to come to temperature. If your chicken thighs are boneless start checking them for donesness after about 25 minutes.

Step 7

Once the chicken thighs reaches an internal temperature of 165, the chicken thighs are fully cooked and the juices will no longer be pink. (A meat thermometer is handy to check the temperature inside) Use any juices on the pan to baste each piece generously.
