Garlic-Brown Sugar Chicken Thighs

Garlic-Brown Sugar Chicken Thighs

 

Ingredients

 

Directions

Instructions Checklist
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

  • Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper.

  • Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken, skin-side down, and sear until brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove chicken to a plate.

  • Melt remaining butter in the skillet. Add garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in brown sugar, honey, oregano, thyme, and basil until well combined. Return chicken to the skillet.

  • Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 25 to 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Cook’s Note:

If you’d like to use fresh herbs instead of dried, use 1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano, 3/4 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme, and 3/4 teaspoon chopped fresh basil.
