Chicken thighs with brown sugar and lemon

Sweet crispy crust and flavorful chicken meat. Today I have an unusual experimental recipe. After making trout with a citrus-sugar glaze that my whole family loved, I decided to continue experimenting with brown sugar in hot dishes. This time the choice fell on chicken. To implement the idea, I decided to use chicken thighs. It turned out no less tasty, and most importantly - very quickly. In addition to the thighs, you can use any other part of the chicken, with or without bones.
