- Bake. Bake for 35-45 minutes or until the internal temperature hits 165°F.

Notes
- Remove as much water from the chicken thighs as possible. This helps make sure they bake up crispy, so the coating doesn't end up wet and soggy.
- Cover the chicken thighs really well in the seasoning and baking powder mixture. If you find you don't have quite enough, make a 1/2 batch of the rub and add a bit more to the chicken.
- Use parchment paper on your baking tray (or nonstick aluminum foil) to make clean up a breeze and to keep your chicken from sticking.
