Easy Spicy Mexican-American Chicken image

My husband is Mexican, and he loves spicy chicken from the supermarket. I was trying to recreate one of the spicy packaged chicken dishes at home, and that's what i came up with. Chicken thighs are softer and juicier. It is very spicy and tangy, easy to make, and he loves it!

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 5

½ cup Mexican-style hot sauce (such as Valentina)
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon brown sugar, or more to taste
4 chicken thighs

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a small baking dish.
  • Mix the hot sauce, paprika, ground cayenne pepper, and brown sugar in a bowl, and stir until the mixture is well combined. Place the chicken thighs in the baking dish, and coat them with a layer of sauce. Cover the dish with foil.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The chicken was a little dry and the sauce was bland. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This recipe was easy to follow and the chicken turned out great. The sauce was a little too spicy for my taste, but I'm sure I can adjust the heat next time.
