Steps Chicken
  1. Add the chicken thighs to a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, thyme (or oregano), and cayenne.
  2. Add the baking powder and mix well to coat — this is what crisps the skin.
  3. Bake at 400°F for 40 minutes. Remove the skin before serving, if preferred.
Sauce
  1. Process the Greek yogurt, mayo, scallions, cilantro, jalapeño, lime juice, chipotle powder, and salt until smooth.
  2. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
Salad
  1. Combine the cucumbers, red onion, and cilantro in a bowl.
  2. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice, add a pinch of salt, and mix. Taste and adjust.
Assemble
  1. Cook the rice according to package directions.
  2. Build each bowl: rice at the base, chicken on top, two large spoonfuls of salad, avocado slices, and a drizzle of sauce.
