Equipment
- oven-safe skillet
Ingredients
- 6 pieces chicken thighs bone-in and skin-on
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano

- 1 pound fresh green beans
Instructions
- Begin by preheating your oven to 400˚F.
- Generously season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
- In a large oven-safe skillet, melt unsalted butter over medium heat. Place the chicken thighs in the skillet skin-side down and sear them until they are nicely golden on both sides, ensuring the skin side gets crispy.
- Once browned, remove the chicken from the skillet and set them aside. Carefully pour out excess fat but retain a bit for flavor.
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until fragrant. Then mix in the brown sugar, honey, thyme, and oregano, stirring over low heat until well blended.
- Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, ensuring they are coated with the honey garlic mixture.
- Add fresh green beans to the skillet, arranging them nicely around the chicken.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for approximately 25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked.
- Serve the delicious chicken straight from the pan and savor every bite!
