Garlic-Brown Sugar Chicken Thighs

Ingredients

• 8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs

• salt and ground black pepper to taste

• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided

• 4 cloves garlic, minced

• ¼ cup packed brown sugar

• ¼ cup honey

• ½ teaspoon dried oregano

• ¼ teaspoon dried thyme

• ¼ teaspoon dried basil

Directions 

• 
  Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

• Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper.

• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken, skin-side down, and sear until brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove chicken to a plate.

• Melt remaining butter in the skillet. Add garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in brown sugar, honey, oregano, thyme, and basil until well combined. Return chicken to the skillet.

• Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 25 to 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
