Step 1
Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Arrange skin-side up on a broiler pan.
Step 2
Mix smoked paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, pepper, and salt in a small bowl.
Step 3
Rub the spice mixture all over the chicken, coating the skin generously.
Step 4
Position broiler rack 6 inches from the heat. Broil chicken for 8–10 minutes until skin is charred and crispy.
Step 5
Check for doneness: internal temp should reach 165°F at the thickest thigh. Serve immediately.
