Ingredients
  

  • 6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/4 cup butter, divided
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Trim excess fat from chicken and season both sides with salt and pepper.
  • In a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, melt half of the butter. Sear chicken for about 3 minutes per side until golden, then transfer to a plate.
  • Add remaining butter to the skillet. Once melted, add garlic, brown sugar, oregano, and thyme. Cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
  • Return chicken to the skillet and spoon the garlic sauce over the top.
  • Transfer skillet to the oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F.
  • Spoon sauce over chicken before serving.

Notes

Pairs well with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a crisp green salad. For extra caramelization, broil for 2-3 minutes after baking.
