Recipe Tip
Go for Garlic
Garlic is a phytonutrient, a plant nutrient. It's not necessary for life, but it may have some healthful benefits, and it has lots of flavor.

Wonderful Hit!
It was a huge hit when we served it for some friends. I was a bit worried because my boyfriend was trying to help by prepping the chicken for me and prepped 6 breasts instead of 4. But I added a bit of chicken broth to the bottom of the pan and spread the glaze a bit thin on all 6 pieces and it was still wonderful! Highly recommend it!

I really liked it, and it continued to get better with every bite. The sweetness of the glaze was pleasant.

Horrible!!!
This recipe was kinda complicated comsidering all of the other recipes. The brown sugar just didn't workout for me. It got very hard when I tried to put it over the chicken and when it was in the oven it didn't get soft, it stayed hard. I will not be making this dish again.

caramelized-garlic chicken
did this recipe today like it except I thing you should specialize that the garlic should be medium cloves and that the 4 teaspn of brown sugar should be five in order to get a deep flavor of this recipe I did enjoy it but the flavor was faint except for the garlic . so I rate this a 4.

Super yummy
This is a really easy dish to make and taste great. I love anything with garlic on it and never really thought to match it with brown sugar. Very pleasing to the tastebuds.

Kids loved it
So easy to make and my kids loved it. They said, "It tastes like candy." I think my husband doubled the sauce recipe because he doesn't like dry chicken, so the glaze was fairly thick. When the kids ask for it again, I know we have a winner.

Garlick-Carmel glazed chicken
It was very good but would have rated it a 5 if only the glaze was a little more flavorfull. Possible a little thicker. Could be me though.
