Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). This step is crucial to create the tremendous crispy texture you desire for your chicken.

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, white pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, cayenne pepper, and baking powder. Mix those ingredients thoroughly, ensuring each grain of spice is integrated into the flour.

3. Dredge the chicken pieces in the flour mixture until fully coated. Make sure to shake off any excess flour. This step is essential to ensure that each bite is packed with tremendous flavor and crunch.

4. Place the coated chicken pieces on a baking sheet. Ensure there’s enough space between each piece to allow for even cooking.

5. Bake in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. You can use a meat thermometer to check if the internal temperature has reached 165°F (75°C).

6. Once baked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring that every bite tastes juicy and satisfying.
