Step 1

Combine all the ingredients for the marinade into a bowl (garlic through brown sugar). Mix and add the chicken. Make sure the chicken is coated in the marinade. Let it marinate in the fridge for 3 hours or overnight. I would highly recommend overnight for the best flavor.

Step 2

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Step 3

Next sear the chicken skin to ensure it’s nice and crispy. Heat some oil over medium high heat. Sear the chicken, skin side down, for 1-2 minutes until brown.

Step 4

After searing, place the chicken on a baking sheet. Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.

Step 5

Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with rice, fresh vegetables, and a fried egg.
