Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
-
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, soy sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. This will be your flavorful glaze for the chicken.
-
Place the chicken thighs on the prepared baking sheet, skin side up. Use a brush or spoon to generously coat each piece with the brown sugar glaze. Make sure to cover the chicken evenly for maximum flavor.
-
Once all the chicken thighs are coated, transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the skin is crispy and golden brown.
-
While the chicken is baking, baste it with the remaining glaze halfway through the cooking time to keep the meat moist and flavorful.
-
Once the chicken thighs are cooked through, remove them from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute and ensures the meat is tender and juicy.
-
To serve, garnish the Baked Chicken Thighs with Brown Sugar with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness. Pair this dish with your favorite sides such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple green salad for a complete meal.
