Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it is ready for the chicken.

Step 2: Prepare the Chicken

In a large bowl, combine chicken thighs with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Make sure to coat them evenly for the best flavor.

Step 3: Make the Sauce

In a separate bowl, whisk together brown sugar, soy sauce, and minced garlic until well combined. This sauce will add a delightful sweetness to the chicken.

Step 4: Combine Chicken and Sauce

Add the seasoned chicken thighs to the bowl with the sauce. Ensure that each piece of chicken is thoroughly coated in the brown sugar garlic mixture.

Step 5: Arrange in a Baking Dish

Place the coated chicken thighs in a baking dish, making sure to arrange them in a single layer for even cooking.

Step 6: Bake the Chicken

Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 7: Baste the Chicken

Halfway through the cooking time, use a spoon to baste the chicken with the sauce from the bottom of the baking dish. This will enhance the flavor and moisture of the chicken.

Step 8: Serve

Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve it warm, drizzled with the leftover sauce from the baking dish.
