Step 1

Preheat oven to 400˚F (200˚C)

Step 2

Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper.

Step 3

Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add chicken, skin-side down, and sear both sides until golden brown. (The skin side will take much longer, in order to properly render the fat and crisp up the skin.)

Step 4

Remove chicken thighs and set aside. Pour out any excess fat, but leave some in for the sauce.

Step 5

Add garlic, stir until fragrant, then add brown sugar, honey, thyme, and oregano, and stir. Reduce heat to low.

Step 6

Return chicken to the skillet. Coat the chicken in the sauce.

Step 7

Add green beans to skillet.

Step 8

Bake for 25 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.

Step 9

Enjoy!
