Chicken Thighs are so moist, we prefer them over chicken breasts with this rub. Let the rub rest on them for 15 minutes and up to overnight.
Spicy Chicken Thighs
We love these thighs with Roasted Potatoes, Artichokes and Blue Oyster Mushrooms. They cook alongside one another in the oven for an easy weeknight meal. Use separate sheets pans or the same one.
The spice rub is good for 2 nice sized chicken thighs, easily doubles or triples, depending on the size of your group. With the exception of the brown sugar or blend there are no Carbs so we count this as 0 CO.
