Ingredients

8 Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
salt and pepper to taste
3 Tablespoons Olive oil
4 Cloves Garlic ,minced
1/4 Cup Brown sugar ,packed
1 Tablespoon Honey
1/2 teaspoon Dried oregano

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 Degrees F.
Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper, to taste.
Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken, skin-side down, and sear both sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side; set aside.
