Line a sheet tray with foil and place a rack on top.

Prepare a Ziploc bag using a bag holder for easy filling.

Add the chicken thighs to the bag.

Add 2 tablespoons of baking powder to the bag.

Add 1/2 tablespoon of kosher salt to the bag.

Add 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika to the bag.

Add 1 teaspoon of garlic powder to the bag.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of oregano to the bag.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder to the bag.

Seal the bag and shake to coat the chicken evenly with the seasonings.

Place the chicken thighs skin-side up on the lined sheet tray with the rack.

Bake in a preheated oven at 250°F for 30 minutes.

Increase the oven temperature to 425°F and bake for an additional 25 to 30 minutes.

Check the internal temperature of the chicken to ensure it reaches 165°F.

Remove the chicken from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
