Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil, lightly spraying it with cooking oil.
  2. Using paper towels, pat the chicken thighs dry thoroughly to remove excess moisture.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the baking powder, ranch seasoning, garlic powder, and pepper. Mix thoroughly.
  4. Generously rub the spice mixture evenly over each chicken thigh.
  5. Place the seasoned chicken thighs skin-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, watching for the skin to turn a golden brown.
  7. After 30 minutes, check the internal temperature of the chicken thighs, aiming for 165°F (74°C).
  8. Once cooked, remove them from the oven and baste with the flavorful pan juices, then let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
