Ingredients

Directions

• 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) 

1. 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). 
2. 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.
3. 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.
