If you're searching for a quick yet delightful weeknight dinner, look no further than these Sweet & Savory Chicken Thighs. This dish stands out with its delicious seasoning rub that combines brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, and a hint of salt—ensuring each bite is bursting with flavor. To prepare, simply coat the chicken thighs with the spice mix, then roast in the oven for about 28 minutes until golden and crisp. For a healthier twist, consider substituting regular brown sugar with a sugar-free alternative without compromising taste. Pair these chicken thighs with a vibrant side salad or roasted vegetables to create a well-rounded meal that's both satisfying and nutritious. Not only is this recipe easy to make, but it also fits perfectly into any meal rotation, making it ideal for busy weeknights. Remember to enjoy the cooking process and share your own tweaks or favorite sides that complement this dish!

I understand you made a book on Etsy. But I feel like if you’re posting the video, with ingredients and the time, you should put the measurements too. It’s kinda shady to just leave it hanging for those that want to make it after seeing the video.
