Description

A cozy fall dish that perfectly balances sweet and savory, making it a beloved classic for many home cooks.


Ingredients

  • 4 chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (or a halal alternative)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Combine the brown sugar, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, black pepper, salt, apple cider vinegar, paprika, and chili flakes in a mixing bowl to prepare the marinade.
  3. Place the chicken thighs in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over the top. Allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Transfer the chicken and remaining marinade into a baking dish and bake for about 30 to 40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  5. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Marinate overnight for best flavor absorption. For an extra touch, sear the chicken in a skillet before baking.
