Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and arrange them skin-side up in a 9×13-inch baking dish. Spoon the brown sugar mixture evenly over the tops, pressing gently so it adheres to the skin. Let the chicken marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes, or cover and refrigerate for up to 4 hours.
