Use the same volume. Brown-sugar replacements vary in moisture, spread, and browning, so follow the package's baking guidance and start checking a few minutes early.

½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
¼ tsp cayenne pepper (optional)

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Set a wire rack inside a large rimmed baking sheet and lightly coat the rack with cooking spray or a thin film of oil.
2
Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels, then rub them all over with the olive oil. Sprinkle evenly with the salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
