Hi, I’m Catherine.
Mama of three. A Kentucky girl living in California. Here’s what I know: all kids can be great eaters and mealtime must be easy. I create simple, healthy recipes the whole family will love.
Sweet and Spicy Chicken
Among her countless wonderful qualities, Kenya's first grade teacher, Sallie, also happens to be a passionate cook. Not long after we found out about her culinary talents, Sallie made us a cookbook-sized binder filled with photocopies of all her recipes, collected over years of cooking for her family. As you may know, I am a total cookbook junkie and this one completely captivated me. I spent several days pouring over Sallie's creative recipe ideas and the fun names and stories that accompanied each one.
They were all mouthwatering and I wasn't sure which one to try my hand at first, but I finally settled on the Sweet and Spicy Chicken, which sounded darn tasty and easy to make. I made it for our family with three of us loving it, but one saying it was too spicy. I made it few more times before I finally got to this version, which had the perfect balance of sweet and spicy for our whole family. I love this recipe.
Sweet and Spicy Chicken (serves 4)
Prep Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 30 mins
egg free
nut free
dairy free
gluten free
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 6 bone-in chicken thighs
- OR 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Preparation
1. Preheat oven to 350
2. Mix together all the ingredients except the chicken.
3. Pat the chicken dry if there is any moisture. Rub the spice mixture all over the chicken, patting it down so that it sticks.
4. Arrange the chicken pieces evenly in a greased 9 x 13 inch baking dish.
5. Bake the chicken thighs for 35 minutes, and chicken breasts for 30 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through. You can test the doneness by cutting into the thickest part of the chicken and making sure that the juices run clear.

Hi, love your site!!!!! I was wondering.... I have Type 2 Diabetes and was so thrilled that lots of your recipes use to include nutritional information, but for some reason they don't anymore. I would love it if you started including it again. Thanks, Donna
It's easy to check nutritional information yourself. There are some tools on the internet. I like the most this analyzer:

It said that this recipe has [per 100g]
Energy: 127 kcal
Protein: 18.57 g
Fat: 4.08 g
Carbohydrates: 4.52 g

I don't paste here full report, just try this tool and choose amount (other than 100g) of recipe you want and see nutrients you need to know in type 2 diabetes. I hope you can handle it.

Sooo delicious. I made it with chicken breasts. My 2 year old devoured her portion.
None of the ingredients are spicy. Paprika is generally for color and barely heat...
i've got some spicy paprika that isn't to mess around with. also, paprika is more than just looks!
Finally a chicken recipe the entire family ate (husband, 4 and 2 year old)! This was delicious. Thanks!
Oh yum! I love a good, easy chicken recipe. Keeping this one in my back pocket for busy nights. Thanks!
Yum! So good! I may try adding some cayane for spice when I make it for adults only. The hotter the better for me!
Msybe I did something wrong. But this was awful! Way too much parika..2tablespoons ruined the recipe. I am not sure if I missed something had to throw it out.
I thought the chicken may turn out a bit dry so I substituted the olive oil with vegan mayo and coated each chicken thigh. The spices easily stuck to it. I used 5 boneless thighs, made 2x the spice mixture, and baked it for 50 minutes. It turned out yummy and not spicy (this coming from someone who is sensitive to spice). My two year old was hesitant to eat it because of the color but the bites she did eat she enjoyed. Definitely making it again.
Made this tonight and it was a hit!!
We've been making this almost weekly for more than a year now. Its darn near perfect! Thank you!!
Score!
I was diagnose 2017 and find out I’m HIV positive.I was scared because
there is no cure for HIV/AIDS but today some people still don’t
believe that there is cure for HIV, it can only be cured through
Africans root and herbs,and our doctor’s here in USA few of them
know’s about the African herbal medicine can cure Hiv but they chooses
to hide it from us just to make a sales of ARV DRUGS. I did a research
online finding way to get rid of my disease,I saw a comment about a
herbal doctor on internet Name Dr alabi who has cured several disease
with his powerful herbal medicine, I contacted him on whats-app, chat
with him explain my self to him.He said he can cure hiv perfectly well
, he gave me his request which i send to him. within 5 days he sent me
the herbal medicine through ups courier delivering service And told me
how to take the medicine for 2 weeks to get cured,I did for 2 weeks,
within this 2 weeks i notice a very big change in my health and i new
some thing great has happened then i went to confirm my result it was
absolutely Negative.The doctor who new i was hiv positive was asking
me how come i am negative, what did it took to get cure and were did i
get this medicine from and how did i get rid of it I told him every
thing about the herbal medicine that cure me. imagine doctor telling
me not to let anyone know about it,I wasn’t shock though i knew they
know about the herbal cure but choose to hide it in other to make sales
on ARV DRUGS,if you are HIV positive please contact my savior
[email protected] or WHATSAPP him through this number +2348115204568
