Step 1

Clean, trim excess fat, and pat dry chicken thighs.

Step 2

For marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, light brown sugar, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, cumin, and ground cayenne red pepper. Whisk or use a spoon to mix spice marinade mix together.

Step 3

Fully coat chicken thighs in marinade and make sure to place marinade underneath the skin of the chicken thighs. Marinate for 1 hour to overnight.

Step 4

Once chicken is done marinating, preheat the oven to 425 F.

Step 5

Line a baking pan with foil, place an oven baking rack on top of the pan, and lightly coat the baking rack with non-stick cooking spray. Place the thighs on the oven baking rack skin side up, uncovered, and bake for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, turn over thighs and continue to bake for another 20-25 minutes or until thighs are done with an internal temperature of 165 F and have reached desired doneness.
