This is a bare-bones rub that demands honest time: ten minutes doesn't account for preheating the oven and cooking chicken thighs, which need 25-30 minutes in the oven at 425°F to render the skin and cook through—so real start-to-table is closer to 40 minutes. The ingredients are universally available at any Charlotte chain and extremely cheap (under $2 per serving for bone-in thighs), which is its main strength. The simplicity means there's no fussy technique or seasoning hunt, but also no depth: sugar on raw thighs will burn before the chicken cooks through unless you're very careful with heat, and the cayenne-forward profile leaves little room for error. Leftovers dry out quickly on the counter but reheat respectably if stored covered.
