So I made this for dinner tonight.. and it was AMAZING! Even my very picky husband loved it! One word of advice though.. the sugar bubbled up and burt to the edges of my baking dish, so I recommend lining the dish with heavy tin foil. Another thing I may try is adding corn syrup to the brown sugar and garlic to make a thicker glaze.
ReplyDeleteIf you do end up adding corn syrup would you mind sharing how much? Looking forward to trying this one!
DeleteMade this tonight for Dinner, it was AWESOME!! I changed a couple things.... I baked it at 400 for 27 minutes so it came out nice and juicy.... Also once chicken was in dish i poked several holes all over chicken so the brown sugar glaze could get into the chicken! Will be making this again!
ReplyDeleteThere comments really help to adjust the recipe correctly. Thinking of trying this tonight with fried rice. Hmmmmm
ReplyDeletegonna try it with drumsticks.... wish me luck
ReplyDeleteI make this all the time at home. To make the glaze thicker I use honey instead of syrup. I also sprinkle a little cayenne pepper on the chicken... Gives it a sweet and spicy flavor.... YUM! I also grill the chicken in this mixture it is a favorite in my house :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat types of sides would go good with this recipe?
ReplyDeleteI'm making this tonight with a side of garlic mashed cauliflower and salad.
ReplyDeletemade it last night. LOVED it! baked @ 400 degrees for 27 minutes. poked holes in the chicken before baking to let everything soak in. came out SO nicely moist and flavored! added some honey to the glaze to thicken it up.
ReplyDeleteQuick question- I'm allergic to garlic (yes, I know WEIRD). Can I do this recipe with onions or shallots? What would make for a good replacement?

DeleteI'd say you'll just have to get your flavor in different ways. You'd be surprised at how many foods taste great with just salt & pepper. Experiment with herbs, to see what flavors you like. Parsley, rosemary, thyme, sweet basil and oregano are some good ones to start with.
DeleteThere is a cooking tradition which avoids both onions and garlic. Both are considered to stimulate passions, though I can't figure out how these could do that. This cuisine is followed by many Brahmins (the upper caste in India). Maybe you could google and find out more about their cooking methods.
I am trying this soon!!! Hmmm...yummy!
