Spicy Mexican Chicken Thighs Dutch Oven Recipe
Spicy Mexican Chicken Thighs Dutch Oven Recipe
Tender chicken, braised in a deliciously seasoned liquid on low heat, with just the right amount of flavor and heat!
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
Directions
1. Grease a 12” Dutch Oven. Preheat Dutch Oven to 400 degrees. About 18 on top and 12 on the bottom.
2. 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 Dutch Oven, and coat them with a layer of sauce. Cover with lid.
3. Bake in the Dutch Oven for 20 minutes. Remove the lid, and bake until the chicken has cooked through, and the sauce has thickened, about 20 more minutes more.
Note if you want the chicken more brown put more briquettes on the top so browning will take place faster. If you want runny sauce just leave the lid on until the chicken is done.
