Why is the glaze burning before the meat is cooked through? High sugar concentrations in marinades demand careful attention to oven temperatures. Brown sugar and ketchup contain high levels of simple sugars and solids that caramelize rapidly under dry heat. Set the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to balance cooking the interior of the chicken without incinerating the exterior glaze.
Using frozen poultry directly in a baking dish introduces excess water into the pan as ice crystals melt. This liquid dilutes the sauce and prevents proper thickening. Thaw the chicken completely in the refrigerator for twenty-four hours before baking whenever possible. Pat the pieces dry with paper towels to remove surface moisture before coating them in the mixture.
Soy sauce provides ample sodium, meaning added salt is unnecessary. Whisk the brown sugar, ketchup, and soy sauce until the granules dissolve completely to prevent gritty pockets in the finished sauce. Aluminum foil lining the baking dish prevents sticky sugars from bonding to the ceramic or glass surface during the long cooking cycle.
Refrigerate leftovers within two hours in an airtight container for up to three days. Reheat portions gently on the stovetop or in a 325 degree oven, adding a splash of water to reconstitute the thickened sauce if necessary.
