    1. 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.

      1. If you do end up adding corn syrup would you mind sharing how much? Looking forward to trying this one!

    2. Made this tonight for Dinner, it was AWESOME!! I changed a couple things.... I baked it at 400 for 27 minutes so it came out nice and juicy.... Also once chicken was in dish i poked several holes all over chicken so the brown sugar glaze could get into the chicken! Will be making this again!

    5. 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 :-)

    10. 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.

      1. Do I cook the chicken first before adding the glaze?? And then put the glaze and cook it again???

      2. You put the chicken in the oven uncooked. The oven is set to 500° so if you were to cook the chicken first & then put it in the oven youd end up with very dried out chicken. I would set oven at 400 no need to put it that high.

    11. 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?

      2. I'd say you'll just have to get your flavor in different ways. You'd be surprised at how many foods taste great with just salt & pepper. Experiment with herbs, to see what flavors you like. Parsley, rosemary, thyme, sweet basil and oregano are some good ones to start with.

        There is a cooking tradition which avoids both onions and garlic. Both are considered to stimulate passions, though I can't figure out how these could do that. This cuisine is followed by many Brahmins (the upper caste in India). Maybe you could google and find out more about their cooking methods.

    23. Get a meat thermometer. Chicken should be cooked to an internal temp of about 165 degrees (if I remember correctly)

    24. Made this tonight for tomorrow's dinner. "Testing" one now for the family..lol. So good! Added some red pepper flakes for a little heat. I burnt the sugar the first time around so had to do it again. Added a bit of water and cap of vinegar (found tip on web) and it worked great. Will be serving this with wild rice and roasted vegetables. Will make again.
