I really love chicken thighs - they're so juicy and moist - it's like you can't overcook them. I came across a bunch of very similar recipes for them so get ready for a regular occurrence here - flavorful thighs!
Then you take the chicken thighs out to rest while you make the sauce. They're incredibly juicy - with just a little salt & pepper on them - almost busted into them right then!.
But no - had to make the sauce. I cooked up this deliciously bubbly garlic and brown sugar sauce - oh my goodness - so tasty! It got thicker as it cooked - so keep an eye on it for the desired thickness. Also - just as the cooking shows say - taste! I took a quick taste and felt it needed a little more sweetness.
So I added the chicken back in and turned it over in the sauce a couple of times to coat the chicken. Then for the sweetness - I sprinkled with a bit of brown sugar on top.
Then it was dinner time! A couple of chicken thighs with steamed broccoli and half a sweet potato made a wonderful dinner! This recipe was so delicious - I really loved the sweetness with the bite of garlic.
- 6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

- Melt remaining tablespoon butter in the skillet. Add garlic, and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat.
