So I made this for dinner tonight.. and it was AMAZING! Even my very picky husband loved it! One word of advice though.. the sugar bubbled up and burt to the edges of my baking dish, so I recommend lining the dish with heavy tin foil. Another thing I may try is adding corn syrup to the brown sugar and garlic to make a thicker glaze.
If you do end up adding corn syrup would you mind sharing how much? Looking forward to trying this one!
I make this all the time at home. To make the glaze thicker I use honey instead of syrup. I also sprinkle a little cayenne pepper on the chicken... Gives it a sweet and spicy flavor.... YUM! I also grill the chicken in this mixture it is a favorite in my house :-)
made it last night. LOVED it! baked @ 400 degrees for 27 minutes. poked holes in the chicken before baking to let everything soak in. came out SO nicely moist and flavored! added some honey to the glaze to thicken it up.
Quick question- I'm allergic to garlic (yes, I know WEIRD). Can I do this recipe with onions or shallots? What would make for a good replacement?
