Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
  • 2 green onions sliced (for garnish)

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, soy sauce, ketchup, minced garlic, ground ginger, olive oil, black pepper, and red pepper flakes until well combined.
  3. Place the chicken thighs in a large baking dish and pour the sauce over them, ensuring they are well coated.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  5. For a caramelized finish, broil the chicken for an additional 2-3 minutes after baking.
  6. Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with sliced green onions.
