Here’s a recipe for Sweet Heat Rubbed Chicken Thighs using Hot Diggity Pepper Company’s Sweet Heat Rub
Sweet Heat Rubbed Chicken Thighs
Ingredients:
6 chicken thighs, skin on and bone in
3 tablespoons Hot Diggity Pepper Company’s Sweet Heat Rub
1 tablespoon olive oil
Lime wedges and fresh cilantro, for garnish
Instructions:
Rinse the chicken thighs and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a bowl, mix the Sweet Heat Rub from Hot Diggity Pepper Company with olive oil to form a paste.
Apply the rub paste evenly to the chicken thighs, making sure to cover all sides. If possible, work some of the paste under the skin for extra flavor. Allow the chicken to marinate in the refrigerator for at least an hour, but ideally overnight for best flavor.
Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat (about 375°F). If using an oven, line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
If grilling, place the chicken thighs skin side down on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes. Then flip and cook for another 10-12 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
If baking, place the chicken thighs skin side up on the prepared baking sheet and bake for about 35-40 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. The skin should be crispy and the meat fully cooked.
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the chicken thighs with a squeeze of lime juice and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
