Easy Spicy Chicken Thighs Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 kilogram chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 1 tablespoon chicken spice blend
• 1 teaspoon Cajun spice
• 2 teaspoons paprika dry rub
• Optional: 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare chicken: Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season with salt, pepper, chicken spice, Cajun spice, and paprika dry rub.
3. Roast: Place chicken thighs, skin-side up, on a baking sheet. Roast for 30-40 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
4. Baste (optional): For extra crispy skin, baste chicken with pan juices halfway through cooking.
5. Rest: Let chicken rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Optional additions:

• For extra flavor: Add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup to the marinade.
• For a smoky flavor: Add a teaspoon of smoked paprika to the spice blend.

Serve with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a salad.
