baking powder and baking soda are not the same. The Recipe mentions both. Which is it?

  Hi Canarin! It’s baking powder! Where do you see it saying baking soda so I can fix it. I just read through and don’t see it. Thanks!

  I haven’t tried it with thighs but I don’t see why not. Make sure you cook them to 165 degrees. They will probably take longer since they are larger than wings.
