Sweet and Spicy Glazed Chicken Thighs

• Prep Time: 10 mins


• Cook Time: 15 mins


• Total Time: 25 mins


• Servings: 4

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)

Instructions

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. 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.
