Brown sugar2 tsp
Cumin · ground¾ tsp

Salt1 pinch
Pepper1 pinch

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a shallow bowl, whisk 2 tablespoons of olive oil with the lime juice, chopped cilantro, chili flakes, garlic, sugar and cumin. Add the chicken thighs and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in a non-stick pan or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the thighs with any leftover marinade and sear skin-side down for 4 minutes, then turn and sear for 4 minutes more, until golden and crispy (the chicken will not be fully cooked).
Transfer to the preheated oven and bake until cooked through, about 15–20 minutes.
Garnish with cilantro leaves and lime slices or wedges, and serve drizzled with the pan juices.
