This marinade has a slightly sweet, tangy, and just a touch of spice flavor. It's extremely versatile and pairs well with chicken, pork, or beef. I used chicken breasts and cooked this on the stove. It grills beautifully too.

Combine the brown sugar, ketchup, soy sauce, chicken broth, apple cider vinegar, ginger, and garlic in a small bowl.
Cut the chicken into 1 to 2-inch cubes. Place the chicken in a ziptop bag. Reserve 1/2 cup of the marinade and pour the remaining over the chicken. Gently toss it to cover all the chicken.
Refrigerate 6 to 24 hours. The longer you can marinate it the more flavor the chicken will have. Toss the chicken occasionally.
Allow the chicken to come to room temperature before cooking.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the oil. When the oil is hot, add part of the chicken to the hot skillet. Don't crowd the chicken in the skillet, it'll steam instead of brown is you do.
Allow the chicken to cook 4 to 5 minutes per side until it's brown and easily releases from the skillet. Turn and cook on each side. Cook remaining chicken.
Heat reserved sauce in the microwave. Serve immediately with warmed sauce.
