Brown Sugar Chicken

This brown sugar chicken is savory and sweet. I enjoyed the subtle flavors of it. Try it sometime.

  • 1 to 1 1/2 lb boneless chicken breasts or strips
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line baking dish with aluminum foil and coat with cooking spray. Mix dry ingredients in shallow bowl. Pat chicken dry, dip in mixture and coat well on both sides, and place in dish. Sprinkle any remaining coating over top. Bake 15-20 minutes; spoon or brush sauce over the top, then switch oven to broil to allow coating to caramelize (2-5 minutes). Allow to cool 5 minutes before serving.

Hello my friends, let’s make today great. I am glad to be home on a Saturday doing some chilling out along with getting some things done around the house.

I found this on Facebook. I work for a blood bank, I like maple syrup and pancakes are awesome. However I wouldn’t say they are more important than family.

Rambling About Selfies

Yes, I am a 46 year old man who does selfies. I have been told I am like a teenage girl in my doing so many selfies. I enjoy being a dork and that is one way I do that. There are more interesting things in the world to post about and I hope to encounter more of that through life. Selfies can be a innocent thing or a narcissistic thing people do…I can’t figure out which one I am doing yet. Can one do the selfie and remain humble at the same time?
