- 1 medium Onion
- 3 cloves Garlic
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

- Increase the heat to medium-high and add the chicken thighs, searing them for about 5-6 minutes on each side until browned.
- Pour in the barbecue sauce and honey, stirring to coat the chicken evenly.
