Can I use sugar/brown sugar instead of honey in this sticky orange/honey

I wouldn't

I have some chicken tights marinating in soy sauce, garlic and orange right now, but just realized I don't have any honey.

How do I get it sweet, sticky and yummy? I'll also add thyme and parsley later.

Yes, just not in the same amounts.

bump for more options

I've done it before, but you needs to consider the sweetness. If you want the dish to have a hint of sweetness it'll work, otherwise the more brown sugar you use the more it'll taste of brown sugar (Obviously).

I've used brown sugar for Teriyaki sauce and the like before and it works, but for things like sweet and sour, not sure it would turn out so good.

I used two heavy pinches of white sugar and it was perfect to balance the acidity of the orange/vine vinegar. It was sticky and sweet. sorry for the shitty camera, there's more sauce in it than it looks.

Original recipe was a tablespoon of honey by the way.

It should work. I use brown sugar and vinegar as my base for sweet and sour meatballs.
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup white vinegar
Juice and zest of 1/2 orange
Various spices of your liking

Honey is one of those things you can't totally substitute. It's naturally occurring in nature and can't technically be artificially reproduced or created with a similar flavor profile. Make do with what you have and just change the recipe altogether. If you don't have an ingredient just improvise.
