Ingredients
  • 3 pounds chicken thighs (5-7 thighs)
  • 2 Tbsps BBQ seasoning (I used McCormick)
  • 1 1/2 tsps season salt (I used Lawry's)
  • 1 1/2 tsps baking powder
  • Optional: BBQ sauce for dipping
Instructions

  1. Pat both sides of the chicken thighs dry with paper towels.

    Note: If you prefer less skin, trim the excess skin on the bottom of each thigh using kitchen scissors leaving just the skin on the top.

  2. Combine the BBQ seasoning, season salt, and baking powder. Rub on both sides of the chicken thighs.

  3. Place the chicken skin side up on a wire rack over a lined baking sheet. Put in a 475 degree oven for 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temp to 425 and cook for an additional 30 minutes.

  4. Serve with BBQ sauce for dipping if desired.
