HOW TO MAKE SWEET AND SPICY GLAZED CHICKEN THIGHS
Step 1: Place the brown sugar, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and some freshly cracked pepper in a small bowl. Mix well until combined.
Step 2: On a cutting board, place the chicken thighs and pat them with a paper towel to dry. On the entire chicken, sprinkle the brown sugar mixture, generously coating both sides.
Step 3: On medium heat, preheat a large skillet. Add the olive oil once hot and swirl to coat. Add the coated chicken and sear each side for about 5 to 7 minutes until completely cooked and the sugar has turned into a deep brown glaze.
Step 4: Remove from the heat when done and serve the sweet and spicy glazed chicken thighs hot. Enjoy!
