Ingredients
  • 2 pounds chicken thighs (4 to 6 thighs)
  • 1 1/2 Tbsps lemon pepper seasoning
  • kosher salt, pepper
  • 1 tsp baking powder
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 lemon pepper seasoning, kosher salt, pepper and baking powder. Rub on both sides of the chicken thighs. Sprinkle more lemon pepper seasoning over top if desired.

    Note: Check to see if your lemon pepper seasoning has salt in it already, if so go light on any extra salt.

  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.
