Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces chicken pieces (thighs or breasts) Use any preferred cut of chicken.
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar Dark or light brown sugar can be used.
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced Fresh garlic yields the best flavor.
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce Use low-sodium if desired.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Pat dry your chicken pieces to remove excess moisture.
Making the Sauce
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together brown sugar, minced garlic, and soy sauce until well combined.
Coating and Baking
  1. Place your chicken pieces in a baking dish. Pour the brown sugar garlic mixture over the chicken, ensuring it’s well-coated.
  2. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C), basting halfway through to keep the chicken moist.
Serving
  1. Once cooked, remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Drizzle the delicious sauce over the chicken and enjoy!

Notes

Use high-quality soy sauce for best flavor. Basting halfway through cooking is essential for moisture. Leftovers are delicious and can be stored in the fridge for 3-4 days or frozen for 3 months.
