This yummy chicken recipe was one of my favorites growing up. My mom never wrote down a "real" recipe for it because its all to taste and preference. Its one of the easiest, go to quick recipes that I have. Justin loves it, I love it and even the neighbors say it makes the hall smell delicious too!
Chicken thighs, breasts, tenders...whatever it is you prefer. I use the chicken thighs for this recipe though. They cook faster and fall right apart! You don't even need a knife to eat it, just a fork!
Pour a little EVOO right down into a deep skillet and heat to medium. Place chicken into the pan and cook until browned up and almost done. While the chicken is cooking, mince up a bunch of fresh garlic. I am pretty sure mine rounds out to be about 1/2 cup! Scrape the garlic from the cutting board right over the top of the chicken. Shake some dried parsley (or rough chop fresh!) and some ground pepper over the garlic. Pour about 3 cups or so of red wine vinegar right into the pan..You want the vinegar to come up about halfway to almost covering the chicken. Let it come to a boil. Sprinkle 3 to 4 tbsp. of brown sugar over the meat. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover and cook until the chicken is finished, turning the chicken over a few times using tongs or a fork. Keep a close eye on it because the brown sugar will begin to thicken and glaze and you don't want it to burn up in the pan!
I serve it with simple sides like white rice and salad or french cut green beans so that there aren't too many flavors mingling on your plate. The chicken is very flavorful and should be fully appreciated and not accompanied by overpowering side kicks! :)
