1Season boneless, skinless chicken thighs with garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, salt, and Kinder's new sweet and smoky brown sugar seasoning on both sides.
2Cook the seasoned chicken in a pan for about six or seven minutes until cooked through.
3Remove the seared chicken from the pan and cut it into pieces.
4In a separate bowl, whisk together a quarter cup soy sauce, a quarter cup hoisin sauce, half a cup of apple juice, a quarter cup brown sugar, two tablespoons of rice vinegar (or apple cider vinegar), two tablespoons of ketchup, some minced garlic, and some minced ginger.
5Stir the sauce mixture over medium heat until it starts to bubble.
6Once the sauce is bubbling, add a slurry made of three tablespoons water and one tablespoon corn starch.
7Stir in the slurry until the sauce thickens up.
8Add the cut-up chicken back into the thickened sauce.
9Cover the pan with aluminum foil or a lid and let the chicken cook in the sauce long enough for the sugar pieces to burn and create crispy bits.

Tips
Season both sides of the chicken.
Cook the chicken until nice and cooked through, about six or seven minutes.
Cut up the chicken before adding it back to the sauce.
Whisk the sauce ingredients together and stir over medium heat until it starts to bubble.
Let the chicken sit and cook in the sauce with a cover (aluminum foil or lid) to get crispy bits from the sugar.
