Main Dish

Steps

In a small bowl, mix together ketchup, soy sauce, honey, garlic powder, and black pepper to create the glaze.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Season the chicken thigh with salt and pepper, then place it skin-side down in the skillet.
Sear the chicken for about 5 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy.
Flip the chicken over and brush the glaze generously on the meat side.
Cover the skillet and cook for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F).
Serve hot, drizzled with any remaining glaze from the pan.

Tips for Ketchup-glazed Chicken Thighs

The glaze should look glossy and cling to the chicken; if it darkens too quickly, the sugars may be scorching.
A snug-fitting lid helps the bone-in thigh cook evenly; avoid lifting it repeatedly, which lets heat escape.
Rest the cooked thigh briefly before serving so the juices settle and the skin stays crispier.
