     Title: Sweet And Spicy Boneless Chicken Thighs
Categories: Chicken
     Yield: 4 Servings

     6    Boneless skinless chicken
          -thighs; up to 7
     1 tb Butter
     1 tb Oil
     2 cl Garlic
   1/4 c  Chicken stock
     2    Fresh rosemary sprigs; up to
          -3

MMMMM-------------------------SPICE RUB------------------------------
     2 tb Light brown sugar
     1 ts Garlic powder
   1/2 ts Onion powder
   1/2 ts Smoked paprika
   1/2 ts Chili powder; or paprika; to
          -taste
   1/4 ts Black pepper
   1/2 ts Salt

 Preparation:

 In a bowl mix all dry ingredients mentioned under spice rub.

 Pat dry Chicken thighs with a kitchen towel.

 Sprinkle the dry seasoning mix generously on both sides.

 Sear the chicken thighs:

 Heat a heavy cast iron skillet. Add butter and oil.

 Stir in garlic cloves and fry for 30 seconds. Garlic should look light
 golden in color and it loses the raw smell.

 Place chicken thighs flat side facing down. Cook on medium-high heat
 for about 5 minutes, until it is crispy and golden.

 Flip and cook the other side now for another 2 minutes on medium-high
 heat

 Add liquids for sauce:

 Slowly pour 1/4 cup stock to the side of the pan. Add rosemary sprig.
 Scrap the bottom of the pan to release any brown caramelized bits.

 Cover the pan with a lid and cook on high heat for another 2 minutes.

 Uncover and simmer it for another minute or so for a thick sauce to
 form.

 Serve:

 Serve along with rice, beans, or veggies with the sauce drizzled on
 top.

 Notes:

 * You might not need all the spice mixture here. Save any leftovers
   in an airtight container to use later.
 * Don't overcrowd the pan, or else the chicken will not crisp up and
   will start to steam instead.
 * If the pan is small, sear it in 2 batches. Then add all the
   chicken back to the pan and add stock and rosemary.
