SUPER EASY OVEN BAKED CHICKEN THIGHS
I love this recipe! Simple with tons of flavor and crispy coating. This is a great after work dinner, so quick to put together. I use bone-in thighs, but it could also be done with boneless thighs or breasts, just remember to adjust your cooking time accordingly. Doubles easily.

Tips:
- Choose the right type of chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs are best for this recipe. They cook quickly and evenly, and they're easy to shred or slice.
- Use a large skillet: A large skillet will help to prevent the chicken from overcrowding and ensure that it cooks evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you're cooking a large batch of chicken, cook it in batches to prevent overcrowding. Overcrowding will cause the chicken to steam instead of brown.
- Use a meat thermometer: A meat thermometer is the best way to ensure that the chicken is cooked through. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken breast or thigh. The chicken is cooked through when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the chicken rest before shredding: Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before shredding. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Brown sugar chicken is a quick and easy dish that can be enjoyed for dinner or lunch. It's a great way to use up leftover chicken, and it's also a delicious and affordable meal. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or vegetables. Enjoy!
