ingredients for Paprika Chicken

2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoon chipotle chilli powder

Substitutions And Additions
CHICKEN THIGHS: You can use drumsticks as a chicken thigh substitute in this recipe.
SWEET PAPRIKA: Use smoked paprika in place of the sweet paprika. If you do, I would also replace the chipotle chilli pepper with 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper.
How to Make this Paprika Chicken recipe
STEP ONE: Preheat your oven to 400F.
STEP TWO: Grab a small bowl and mix together the olive oil, brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Then set it aside.
PRO TIP: Spices last for a long time, but sometimes they get a bit dry and lumpy. You can still use them. Just put them in a bowl or use a mortar and pestle to break up the lumps before using them. A little bit of oil sometimes helps with the process.
STEP THREE: Remove any excess fat from the chicken thighs and pat them dry with a paper towel.
STEP FOUR: Place them in a large bowl and pour the olive oil mixture over the chicken. Toss the chicken to coat them, making sure to completely cover each chicken piece in the spice mixture.
PRO TIP: For a bolder flavor, let the chicken marinate for 1 to 3 hours. Cover the bowl and make sure to place it in the fridge.
STEP FIVE: Place the chicken thighs in a single layer 9×9 inch baking dish and cook them for 40 minutes. The chicken should be cooked through when the juices run clear and a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken reads 165 F.
STEP SIX: Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before garnishing with fresh chopped parsley and serving.
