All your favorite flavors of Garlic-Brown Sugar in Chicken form – made in ONE PAN!  So Sweetie, comforting and stinking easy with no clean-up!

This dish was great! Quick to prep and cook with crunchy bites to boot! I used a four pack of thighs but left the sauce as written as I like lots. I will make this again and again.

This one is definitely a keeper. Easy to make, simple ingredients and SO GOOD. I’ve made it twice this week because my family loves it so much.

Delicious! I would add that you should pour off the chicken grease before putting the chicken in the oven and sprinkled sesame seeds on the chicken before baking. Then I added a few tablespoons of brown sugar to the juices after removing the chicken from the pan, cooked it down to thicken, and drizzled it on the chicken before serving over rice! Mmm!

This sauce looked so delicious, but we were a bit tired of chicken, so I substituted thin pork chops and cooked according to the directions. They were delicious, especially when we spooned the additional sauce over them.

This recipe is great. I added Minced onion and oregano.

 

Ingredients

 

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

  • Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper.

  • Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken, skin-side down, and sear until brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove chicken to a plate.

  • Melt remaining butter in the skillet. Add garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in brown sugar, honey, oregano, thyme, and basil until well combined. Return chicken to the skillet.

  • Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 25 to 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Cook’s Note:

If you’d like to use fresh herbs instead of dried, use 1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano, 3/4 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme, and 3/4 teaspoon chopped fresh basil.
