What Makes This Brown Sugar Chicken Recipe Low Cost?

We use chicken thighs! Chicken thighs are always easy on family budget, but not all chicken thighs are created equal – make sure to buy quality chicken thighs that have no added hormones or salt. You don’t always have to buy organic to get quality chicken – just read the label thoroughly.

What’s the difference between light and dark sugar?

The darker the sugar the more the molasses so more taste.
