If you’ve visited this site in the past, you know I’m all about recipes that are quick and easy! Well, here’s another one for you. This chicken is so delicious! I paired it with jasmine rice and roasted broccoli. This meal was a HIT in the household. It will definitely be added to the rotation. Enjoy!
INGREDIENTS
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp salt
- freshly cracked pepper
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1.5 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken thighs (4-5 pieces)
DIRECTIONS
- In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and some freshly cracked pepper (10-15 cranks of a pepper mill).
- Place the chicken thighs on a cutting board and pat dry with a paper towel. Sprinkle the brown sugar mixture over the chicken, coating both sides liberally.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the olive oil and swirl to coat. Add the coated chicken and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and the brown sugar has turned into a deep brown glaze. Serve hot.
