Brown Sugar Garlic Chicken
Description
This recipe uses boneless skinless chicken thighs seared in vegetable oil to develop a browned exterior and cook through. After flipping the chicken, minced garlic, kosher salt, black pepper, brown sugar, and water are added to create a sauce. The pan’s heat is reduced to gently cook the chicken in this mixture, allowing the brown sugar to dissolve and the sauce to thicken, coating each piece with a glossy glaze. The garlic adds depth and balance to the sweetness of the brown sugar, while the salt and pepper provide seasoning to enhance the flavors.
Brown Sugar Garlic Chicken can be served with rice, potatoes, or vegetables to complement the sweet-savory sauce. It works well for dinner or meal prep due to its comforting, rich flavor and relatively simple preparation. Spoon the thickened sauce over the chicken when serving to maximize flavor.
