📝 Ingredients

• 4 boneless chicken thighs (skin-on)
• 2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil (or oil spray)

• 3/4 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp ground black pepper

3. 3Season: Combine the brown sugar, smoked paprika, cumin, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl and sprinkle half the seasoning mixture evenly over the chicken thighs.
