Create tender chicken thighs coated in a sticky, sweet, and savory brown sugar garlic glaze. This recipe offers deep flavor with minimal effort, making it a perfect weeknight meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/4 cup Brown sugar, packed
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water (for slurry)

Instructions

  1. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, minced garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, and grated ginger, if using.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs and sear for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium. Pour the prepared sauce mixture over the chicken thighs.
  5. Let the sauce simmer for 5-7 minutes, turning the chicken occasionally to coat evenly. The sauce will begin to thicken.
  6. Stir the cornstarch slurry again and pour it into the simmering sauce. Stir constantly until the sauce thickens into a sticky glaze, about 1 minute.
  7. Remove from heat immediately. Serve the Brown Sugar Garlic Chicken Thighs warm with your favorite side dish.

Notes

  • For extra shine, garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions before serving.
  • If you prefer crispier skin, you can use bone-in, skin-on thighs and bake them after searing.
  • Adjust the soy sauce amount based on its sodium level.
