This dish is simple and very kid friendly, but is unlikely to recieve approval from either Weight Watchers™ or the Surgeon General.
Carmelized Garlic Chicken
- 1 stick butter
- 4 garlic cloves - minced or pressed
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 whole chicken - cut up
Heat the oven to 350°F.
Melt the butter in a pan with the garlic over low heat.
Place the chicken pieces in a baking dish.
Add the brown sugar to the butter and garlic and increase the temperature to medium high.
Stir constantly, but gently until the butter and sugar begin to combine. Immediately turn off the burner and stir vigorously until you have a smooth sauce.
Pour over the chicken pieces. Do not worry about coating each piece perfectly, the sauce will thicken the moment it touches the cold chicken and will slide off if fiddled with.
Bake for approximately 50 minutes at 350°F or until the internal temperature reaches 180°F.
Enjoy.
YUM!
thanks for sharing this with us! I thought this sounded good!
Sweet!
I had chicken out anyway, so I went ahead and made this for supper with cheesy sauce broccoli and mashed potatoes to the side.
I’m guessing you bake at 350? I’m making this tonight!
What a great simple recipe! looks delicious! Thanks! I also want to try the squash recipe…
mmmm - sounds simple and really really good! Thanks for sharing.
We love this recipe! I’ve made it with boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, but I like it better the way you’ve posted it.
