Garlic Brown Sugar Chicken

3 lbs bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or breasts

salt and ground black pepper, to taste

3 Tbsp butter, divided

4 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

1 Tbsp honey

1/2 tsp dried oregano

1/4 tsp dried thyme

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Season the chicken with salt and pepper.

Melt 2 Tbsp butter in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat.  Add chicken, skin-side down, and sear until brown, 2 - 3 minutes per side.  Remove chicken to a plate.  

Melt the remaining butter in the skillet.  Add garlic; cook and stir until fragrant.  Remove from heat and stir in brown sugar, honey, oregano, and thyme until well combined.  Return chicken to the skillet.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 - 30 minutes until the chicken is no longer pink at the bone.
