Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 cup peach preserves
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger (grated)
- 1 large peach (fresh, sliced)
- 2 stalks green onions (sliced for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs, skin-side down, and sear for 5-6 minutes until the skin is golden brown and crisp. Flip them over and sear for another 3 minutes. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and, in the same skillet, add the garlic and ginger. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the peach preserves, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is slightly thickened.
Return the chicken to the skillet skin-side up, and spoon some of the peach sauce over each piece.
Add the fresh peach slices to the skillet, tucking them around the chicken.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the dish rest for 5 minutes.
Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving. Serve hot with rice or your favorite side dish.
