- Place in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked. Baste the chicken with the pan juices from time to time.
Notes
- Use thighs if you want a richer flavor. Chicken thighs are a bit more forgiving than breasts and stay juicy longer.
- Want to amp up the savory side? Add a splash of soy sauce or a sprinkle of garlic powder to the brown sugar mixture.
- Fresh peaches? Go for it! If you’ve got ripe peaches on hand, slice ‘em up and use them instead of canned.
- Make it a meal. Serve with white rice, roasted green beans, or a simple summer salad.
