- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup finely minced onion approximately ½ medium onion
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic around 3 cloves
- ½ cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce

- Dry the chicken thighs thoroughly using paper towels. Season them evenly with salt and black pepper.

- Remove the skillet from heat and serve the chicken immediately, accompanied by your choice of sides.
Notes
