Recipe: Spice Rubbed Chicken

This recipe was so beyond easy it was ridiculous. Like I'm pretty sure even the most incompetent cook in the world couldn't screw this up. The original recipe was for chicken thighs, which I think might have worked better simply because they tend to be more juicy than chicken breasts, but since that's all I had, that's what I made. Odd how that works, eh?

The chicken took all of 5 minutes to prepare, and then I just threw it in the oven for 20 minutes. Easy, easy, easy.

Here's the recipe:

Spice Rubbed Chicken:
Ingredients;
2 Tbsp brown sugar
2 tsp cumin (personally, I would put less cumin in - but that's just me)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp cayenne  (I happen to love cayenne, so I definitely added more than 1 tsp. Adds a nice kick!)
1/4 tsp black pepper
10-12 chicken thighs

Directions;
1. Preheat the oven to 425 F and grease a baking sheet.

2. Combine all of the spices in a bowl and mix together so there's no lumps. Pat the mixture over the entire surface of the thighs.

3. Place the thighs on the baking sheet and place in the oven. Cook for about 30-35 minutes depending on the size/number of thighs.


That's it. That's literally all you have to do. It's beyond easy. And quite tasty to boot. :)

And yes. That is another salad with pecans and goat cheese. Sue me! :P
