INGREDIENTS :

• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• freshly cracked pepper
• 1/4 c brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1.5 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken thighs (4-5 pieces)

DIRECTIONS :

1. Add cayenne pepper, garlic powder, brown sugar, freshly cracked pepper, salt, and paprika into a mixing bowl. Whisk everything until well incorporated.
2. Put the chicken thighs onto a chopping board, then use paper towels to pat them dry. Season them with the brown sugar mixture. Toss and rub each well to coat.
3. Place a large skillet on the stove and turn the heat to medium. Add olive oil and allow it to become hot.
4. Add the coated chicken thighs into the hot skillet, then cook each side for about 5 to 7 minutes or until they turn brown.
5. Remove the chicken thighs from the skillet and place them onto a clean plate.
6. Serve and enjoy!

Notes:

• Do not use bone-in chicken thighs for this recipe. They will take longer to cook compared to boneless ones.
• Feel free to use boneless chicken breasts for this recipe.
• I like serving this dish with mashed potatoes, potato salad, or steamed green beans.
• Place any leftovers in an airtight container, then put them in the fridge. Reheat for a few minutes before serving again.
