    Boneless chicken thighs are seasoned with garlic and some salt.
  • Heat half of the olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken thighs and cook for around 2-3 minutes per side (until they become just golden and a little crispy).

    Browned chicken thighs in a pan.
  • Add the remaining olive oil and crushed garlic to the center of the pan. Cook until the garlic becomes fragrant, then add the sherry vinegar and water (be careful as the water may spit when added to the pan).
    3 garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar, ½ cup water
    Chicken thighs simmer in a pan with some garlic, sherry, and water.
  • Stir juices around the chicken and cook for at least 10 minutes or until you see most of the liquid evaporate. If your chicken thighs are on the larger side, cook for a little longer until cooked through.
    Pan juices are spooned over some chicken thighs in a large pan.
  • Serve chicken on a bed of rice and drizzle with the garlic-infused pan juices.
