Ingredients
  

  • 5 skin-on bone in chicken thighs

Marinade

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine marinade ingredients and whisk until sugar has dissolved.
  • Add in chicken thighs and marinate overnight for maximum flavor or at least 3 hours. Tip: if you poke holes into the chicken with a fork this helps the marinade seep deeper into the meat.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a large pan on medium-high heat, add chicken thighs skin side down. Brown on each side for 2-3 minutes per side. Once you lay the chicken down, do not constantly move it around. Allow the pan to do its work so it can evenly brown.
  • Pour the remaining marinade over the chicken.
  • Lower heat to medium and cover with a lid. Cook for 15-20 minutes until meat is cooked at the bone and juices run clear or until an internal temperature of 165 F with a digital instant read thermometer. Transfer cooked chicken to a serving dish.
  • Deglaze the pan with a few tablespoons of water and pour the juices over the chicken. Serve and enjoy!
