Baked Garlic Brown Sugar Chicken Recipe - Easy & Delicious

Ingredients

Servings:
6
  • 4 pieces chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on for best flavor)
  • 1 cup brown sugar (packed tightly)
  • 1 cup soy sauce (preferably low sodium)
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Ensure your oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
  2. Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, mix together the brown sugar, soy sauce, and minced garlic.

    Stir until the sugar is mostly dissolved.
  3. Marinate the Chicken

    Place the chicken thighs in a baking dish and pour the marinade over them.

    For best results, marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Bake the Chicken

    Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

    Remove the foil for the last 15 minutes to caramelize.
  5. Check for Doneness

    Ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C).

    Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
  6. Serve

    Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving.

    Serve with rice or vegetables to soak up the sauce.
