1

Place the chicken thighs in a zip lock plastic bag and add the rest of the ingredients for the marinade. Seal it up, shake it all around and refrigerate at least 20 minutes (ideally overnight).

2

Heat oil in a large skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Once the oil is very hot (but not smoking) carefully add the chicken thighs in a single layer. Sear thighs for 3 to 4 minutes, until one side is deeply golden brown.

3

Carefully flip and brown on the other side for another 3 to 4 minutes, until both sides are golden-brown. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.

4

Add the chopped onion to the skillet and stir well. Sauté, stirring occasionally, until onion has softened. If the onion begins to stick at any point, deglaze the pan using about ¼ cup of the chicken broth and stir well.

5

Transfer the chicken thighs back to the skillet, along with the remaining sauce (reserved marinade), the chicken broth (or water) and the black pepper. Stir well, cover and bring to a full boil.
