| 1/4 teaspoon salt, more to taste |
| 1 cup brown sugar |
| 2 teaspoons minced garlic |
| 4 boneless chicken breasts |
| 1 tablespoon cooking oil |

Directions:

- Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.

- Transfer chicken breasts to the baking sheet and place into the oven to cook for 5 minutes.
- Remove baking sheet from oven. Spoon a small amount of firecracker sauce over chicken and baste. Return to oven and bake for and additional 12-15 minutes, until chicken is thoroughly cooked.
- Serve chicken with remaining firecracker sauce and enjoy!
