• servings: 4 servings
• total time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

1/4 cup brown sugar ($0.12)

1/2 tsp cayenne pepper ($0.05)

1/2 tsp garlic powder ($0.05)

1/2 tsp paprika ($0.05)

1/2 tsp salt ($0.02)

freshly cracked pepper ($0.05)

1 Tbsp olive oil ($0.16)

1 ½ lbs. boneless, skinless chicken thighs (4-5 pieces) ($4.49)

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. 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.
