¼ cup brown sugar ($0.12)

½ tsp cayenne pepper ($0.05)

½ tsp garlic powder ($0.05)

½ tsp paprika ($0.05)

½ tsp salt ($0.02)

black pepper (freshly cracked, $0.05)

Instructions

1 In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and some freshly cracked pepper (10-15 cranks of a pepper mill).

2 Place the chicken thighs on a cutting board and pat dry with a paper towel. Sprinkle the brown sugar mixture over the chicken, coating both sides liberally.
