Preparation

Step 1

Toss chicken with olive oil. Mix paprika, garlic powder, pepper and salt in a small bowl. Sprinkle chicken all over with seasonings. (Can be covered and refrigerated a couple of days.)

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. When skillet is hot, add chicken and cook, turning only once until thighs are cooked through and impressively brown on both sides, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Mix lemon juice and pepper sauce and add to hot skillet. Scrape up browned bits and then immediately pour over chicken, and toss to coat. Let stand a few minutes for flavors to blend. Serve.
