Ingredients
- 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 pound (450g) green beans
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Season the Chicken: Sprinkle the chicken thighs with salt and pepper
- Sear the Chicken: In a large oven-safe skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Place the chicken thighs skin-side down and sear until the skin is golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Flip and cook the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside
- Prepare the Sauce: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the brown sugar, honey, thyme, and oregano, combining well. Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes.
- Combine Chicken and Vegetables: Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, coating them with the sauce. Add the green beans around the chicken, ensuring they are slightly submerged in the sauce.
- Bake: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve the chicken and green beans with the pan sauce drizzled over the top.
Tips for Success
- Crispier Skin: Ensure the chicken skin is dry before searing to achieve maximum crispiness.
- Vegetable Variations: Feel free to substitute green beans with broccoli, asparagus, or bell peppers based on your preference.
- Serving Suggestions: Pair this dish with steamed rice, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
