Description

Brown Sugar Garlic Chicken is a delightful dish that combines sweet and savory flavors, perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

  • Chicken Thighs: 1.5 lbs (about 6 pieces, bone-in and skin-on for best flavor)
  • Brown Sugar: 1/2 cup
  • Garlic: 4 cloves, minced
  • Soy Sauce: 1/4 cup
  • Olive Oil: 2 tablespoons
  • Ginger: 1 tablespoon, freshly grated
  • Green Onions: 2, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the marinade by combining brown sugar, minced garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, and freshly grated ginger in a mixing bowl.
  2. Marinate the chicken by placing it in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pouring the marinade over it. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  4. Bake the marinated chicken in a baking dish for 25-30 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  5. While baking, thicken the reserved marinade in a saucepan over medium heat for 5-7 minutes.
  6. Brush the thickened glaze over the chicken and return it to the oven for an additional 5 minutes.
  7. Serve the chicken after letting it rest for a few minutes, garnished with chopped green onions.

Notes

  • Opt for bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs for juiciness and flavor.
  • Marinate for up to 4 hours for enhanced flavor.
  • Use fresh garlic and ginger for the best taste.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving for optimal tenderness.
