4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
3 Tablespoons of olive oil
4 cloves of garlic, minced (6 tsp. pre-minced)
4 Tablespoons of brown sugar
½ teaspoon cracked black pepper
¼ teaspoon of smoky paprika
1 Tablespoon butter
Seasoned salt

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Sprinkle both sides of chicken pieces with seasoned salt. Use the tablespoon of butter to fully coat the bottom and sides of an oblong baking dish.  In a small skillet, heat olive oil over medium high heat and add garlic.  Saute for 4-5 minutes or until garlic is just beginning to brown.  Remove from heat and let cool for a couple of minutes.  Add brown sugar, paprika,  and pepper.  Mixture will be thick or paste-like Place chicken cut side down in baking dish and brush/spoon mixture on tops of chicken to fully coat the tops.  Bake for 25-30 minutes until chicken reaches 165 degrees and juices run clean.  Turn on broiler and broil for 2-4 minutes.
