      Oh my goodness. This chicken thigh recipe was a out of the park home
      Run. I didn’t have skinless-boneless thighs so I just used what I had available. The thighs were juicy, tender and delicious and this will be my go too recipe. My husband asked if he could have the leftovers for dinner. So easy and outstanding flavor .

      Are you supposed to mix the Italian dressing by packet instructions and then mix in brown sugar?!
