Ingredients

• 6 pieces chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion
• 4 cloves garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1.5 cups chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 tablespoons chopped parsley

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken thighs skin-side down and brown for 5-6 minutes per side, until the skin is golden and crispy. Remove the chicken and set aside.

Step 3

Finely chop the onion and garlic. In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the chopped onion. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic, paprika, and dried oregano. Stir and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken broth, honey, and soy sauce. Stir well to combine, scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze any browned bits. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 6

Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, skin-side up. Cover and let simmer on medium-low heat for about 25-30 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Stir this mixture into the skillet to thicken the sauce. Let cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 8

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve hot with rice, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread.
