    This is a DELICIOUS recipe. I made just a couple of changes to suit me though. I cooked the brown sugar for a while, then added the garlic so it wouldn't burn and turn bitter. Also, I added 3 tbsp of brown sugar instead of 2. I removed the sauce from the pan and turned up the heat to get a good sear on the chicken. Once I did that on both sides, I added the sauces back and added the broth. When the chicken was done, I removed it and made a corn starch slurry to thicken the sauce. It was PERFECT.
