Step 1

Preheat oven to 425 F using the convection setting.

Step 2

Trim off excess fat from chicken thighs and pat dry using paper towels.

Step 3

Add baking powder, salt, garlic powder, paprika and black pepper to a large resealable plastic bag or container and shake to mix.

Step 4

Next, add the chicken thighs one at a time to the bag or container and seal tightly. Shake well and coat the chicken thighs in the spice mixture.

Step 5

Place an oven-safe rack on top of a foil-lined baking sheet then place the chicken thighs on the rack leaving space around for air circulation.

Step 6

Bake chicken thighs for about 35-40 minutes. Use a meat thermometer to check whether the chicken thighs are done. The internal temperature should be 165 F or the chicken juices should run clear and be crispy on the outside.

Step 7

Serve immediately.
