Garlic Brown Sugar Chicken Tips

• Be sure to use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs for this recipe.
• Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after it comes out of the oven. This will help to prevent it from drying out.

Variations

• One easy way to change up this dish is to swap out the chicken thighs for chicken breasts. If you do so, be sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly. Chicken breasts tend to cook more quickly than chicken thighs.
• For extra flavor, try cooking the chicken in bacon fat. Simply render some bacon in a pan.
