Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs (750g) bone-in skin-on chicken thighs
- salt
- ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon parsley chopped
Sauce:
- 3/4 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 3 dashes cayenne pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt or to taste
Instructions
- Rinse the chicken thighs with water and pat dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and ground black pepper. In a small bowl, mix all the ingredients for the sauce and stir well. Set aside.
- Heat a skillet and pan-fry the chicken thighs until the skin turns golden brown and the bottom is crispy. Discard the excess oil from the skillet and set the chicken thighs aside.
- Add the olive oil to the skillet over medium heat. Sauté the garlic until softened and lightly browned. Add the chicken thighs and sauce. Cover the skillet with a lid, reduce the heat to a simmer, and cook for about 3 minutes, or until the sauce reduces and turns brown.
- Turn the chicken a couple of times to coat it with the sauce. Top with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
