Garlic-Brown Sugar Chicken Thighs

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425°F.

Step 2

Combine broth, brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic and crushed red pepper in a small skillet over medium heat; cook, stirring, until the sugar has dissolved. Pour half the sauce into an 8-inch-square baking dish.

Step 3

Season chicken with salt and pepper and place in the baking dish. Pour the remaining sauce over the chicken; reserve the skillet. Bake, turning once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of a thigh registers 165°F, about 30 minutes.

Step 4

Use tongs to transfer the chicken to a serving plate. Pour the sauce from the baking dish into the small skillet. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring, until reduced to 1/4 cup, 3 to 4 minutes. Drizzle the sauce over the chicken and sprinkle with scallions and cilantro.
