PREPARATION

Preheat oven to 400 degrees and grease a large baking sheet (with a raised side) or casserole dish.

MAKING THE SAUCE

In a medium sauce pan whisk together brown sugar, salt, water, apple cider vinegar, garlic and hot sauce.

Bring to a boil over medium heat and boil for 3-4 minutes.

MAKING THE CHICKEN

Season chicken with salt and pepper on both sides, grease a skillet and cook chicken on both sides 1-2 minutes over medium heat, just enough to brown the very outside.

Arrange chicken in a single layer (not overlapping) on prepared baking sheet. Brush with sauce. (there should still be plenty of sauce leftover - reserve for later).

Bake for 20-25 minutes until chicken is cooked through. Pour remaining sauce over the chicken and serve hot.
