Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and sear the chicken until browned on both sides, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove the chicken and set aside.
Return the chicken to the skillet, spoon the glaze over the thighs, and let it simmer on low heat for about 15-20 minutes. This ensures the chicken is fully cooked and absorbs all the sweet and savory flavors.
Transfer the chicken to a serving dish, spoon extra glaze over the top, and garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Serve with rice, quinoa, or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
