Easy Spicy Mexican-American Chicken

Recipe by Anna Rivera from allrecipes.com

Dinner 45 Mins.

Ingredients

2

2 servings

  • cooking spray
  • 4 chicken thighs
  • 0.5 cup Mexican-style hot sauce (such as Valentina)
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar, or more to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a small baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Place chicken thighs in the prepared baking dish. Stir together hot sauce, paprika, cayenne pepper, and brown sugar in a bowl; pour over chicken thighs. Cover the dish with foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking until chicken is cooked through and sauce has thickened and started to brown, about 20 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a thigh should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
