Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) or air fryer to the same temperature. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels.
  2. Season both sides of the chicken with salt, pepper, and herbs. Let sit for 10 minutes.
  3. In a skillet, heat butter or olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear chicken thighs skin-side down for 5-7 minutes until crispy.
  4. Flip the chicken, transfer the skillet to the oven, and bake for 20-25 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  5. Prepare the sauce in the same skillet by adding garlic, soy sauce, brown sugar, and lime juice. Stir over medium heat for 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
  6. Allow chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving. Drizzle sauce over and garnish with fresh herbs.
