Ingredients

  • 3 pounds chicken thighs boneless and skinless
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 8 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup chicken broth
  • ½ teaspoon pepper or to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven and prep the chicken: Preheat your oven to 425℉. Remove the chicken thighs from their packaging and pat them dry with paper towels.
  2. Combine the sauce: Add all the sauce ingredients together to a sauce pan and whisk over medium heat until all the sugar dissolves. Pour about half of the sauce in a large casserole dish, arrange the chicken thighs in the dish, then pour the remaining sauce over the chicken.
  3. Bake the chicken: Transfer the casserole dish to the oven and bake uncovered for 35 to 40 minutes, basting with sauce every 10 minutes.
  4. Garnish and serve: Garnish with chopped parsley or cilantro if preferred, and serve. 

Notes

  • Store leftover chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days.
  • Freeze this stored in airtight containers for up to 3 months! Allow to thaw overnight in the fridge before heating back up in the oven, on the stove, or on the microwave.
