BROWN SUGAR CHICKEN



Brown Sugar Chicken image

This sauce is so sweet and good. I have to admit that I was a bit skeptical when I found out the strange ingredients, but it turned out to be excellent. Serve extra sauce over rice or potatoes. This could also be made in a crockpot if you cook it on low for about 4 hours. Cooking time may vary, so check to make sure chicken is done.

Provided by Lubie

Categories     Chicken

Time 1h15m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine
2 tablespoons catsup
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons mustard
6 -8 chicken breasts

Steps:

  • Combine brown sugar, butter, catsup, worcestershire, and mustard in sauce pan and heat until butter is melted.
  • Pour sauce over chicken in 9x11 inch pan.
  • Bake, COVERED, at 350 F for 60-90 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Chicken: Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs for even cooking and tender texture.
  • Tenderize the Chicken: Pounding the chicken helps tenderize it and allows the marinade to penetrate deeper.
  • Use a Flavorful Marinade: The marinade adds incredible flavor to the chicken. Be sure to let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Cook Over Medium Heat: Cooking the chicken over medium heat prevents burning and ensures it cooks evenly throughout.
  • Don't Overcook: Overcooked chicken can become dry and tough. Cook just until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  • Serve with Your Favorite Sides: Brown sugar chicken pairs well with various sides such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.

Conclusion:
