"This is a recipe I love to make for family and friends. I usually serve it with roasted sesame asparagus and a sesame-noodle salad. Let the chicken marinate overnight for best results." -Jen McDonald, Centerville, VA

Ingredients

  • 1/4  cup  packed brown sugar
  • 1/4  cup  low-sodium soy sauce

  • 1/4  teaspoon  curry powder
  • 3  garlic cloves, minced
  • 8  (6-ounce) chicken thighs, skinned
  • Cooking spray
  • Lime wedges (optional)
