Combine all ingredients in a jar. Cover tightly, shake vigorously. Chill at least 1 hour or up to overnight.

For the pickled veggies

Whisk together all glaze ingredients in a medium bowl. Reserve half of the glaze and set aside.

Add remaining half of the glaze to a medium sauce pan, bring to a boil and cook for five minutes.

Remove from heat and allow to cool and thicken while you cook the chicken.

For the glaze

Combine chicken and reserved glaze in a skillet over medium heat. Cook 5-8 minutes (depending on the thickness of the chicken pieces).

Turn, cook another 5-8 minutes until cooked through. Remove from heat.

Top with thickened glaze and serve with cooked white rice and pickled veggies. Enjoy!

Stovetop method

Chicken thighs are cooked in a cast-iron skillet until the skin is super crispy, coated in a scrumptious sweet and tangy brown sugar glaze, and finished in the oven until they&#39;re juicy and delicious. This is a quick and simple chicken recipe packed with a ton of flavor!

Easy Brown Sugar Glazed Chicken

dark brown sugar (or light brown sugar)

orange juice (fresh squeezed)

honey

whole-grain mustard (or yellow mustard)

apple cider vinegar

cinnamon

ginger

smoked paprika

black pepper

chicken thighs (4 chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on, see note)

Salt and black pepper

olive oil (extra-virgin)

To a medium saucepan, add the brown sugar, honey, orange juice, mustard, vinegar, and spices and heat over medium-high heat. Simmer the sauce for 2 to 3 minutes while stirring with a wooden spoon until the sugar has dissolved. The sauce should coat the back of a spoon. Set the sauce aside.

Heat two tablespoons of olive oil in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet or medium oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken thighs with salt and cracked pepper on both sides and transfer them to the skillet, skin side down.

Cook the chicken thighs for 7-8 minutes, or until the skin is browned and crispy, then flip the chicken and cook for an additional 5-6 minutes. Pour the brown sugar glaze over the chicken in the skillet, being sure to coat all of the chicken, and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.

Cook the chicken in the preheated for 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (an instant read thermometer inserted into the chicken should read 165 to 170 degrees Fahrenheit), basting the chicken with glaze halfway through.

Turn on the oven broiler and cook the chicken for an additional 2 to 3 minutes to crisp the skin and caramelize the exterior. Allow the chicken to rest for 10 minutes. Enjoy!
