  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar

  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  2. Pat dry your chicken breast and add them to a medium-sized mixing bowl.

  3. In a small bowl add the salt, pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, sugar, chipotle powder, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine and set aside.

  4. Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken thighs and use a wooden spoon, spatula, tongs, or your hand to mix and evenly coat the chicken.

  5. Add the spice mixture over top. Using your wooden spoon, spatula, tongs, or your hands stir to combine and evenly coat the spice mixture.

  6. Place your seasoned chicken thighs in a 7 x 9 casserole dish.

  7. Bake your chicken at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 30-35 minutes or until your thermometer reads 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
