3 tablespoons peanut oil or extra-virgin olive oil
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the honey, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, and about 1/8 teaspoon of black pepper. Set aside.
Sprinkle the chicken lightly on both sides with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is very hot, arrange the chicken thighs in the skillet, skin-side down. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes, or until the skin is golden browh. Turn the chicken and cook for about 1 to 2 minutes longer.
Remove the chicken to the preheated oven and roast for about 10 minutes. Brush with the honey garlic mixture; return to the oven and continue roasting for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the chicken registers about 175 F.
