Ingredients

Instructions
- Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to help them brown properly.

- Flip the chicken and cook another 4–5 minutes until nearly cooked through.

- Spoon the sauce over the chicken as it thickens and caramelizes for 3–4 minutes.

Notes
- Keep the heat moderate after adding the sauce to avoid burning.
