Mix brown sugar in a bowl so it’s not clumpy. Add other ingredients to the bowl, and mix everything by hand.
Bake in oven at 425 degrees for about 40-45 minutes (make sure chicken is 165 degrees internally).
Zorba tip: Feel free to use the excess chicken fat oil as a topping for other foods (baked potato, etc).
