Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken Thighs

    Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Chop the Garlic

    Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Vinegar Peppers

    If using whole vinegar peppers, slice them into rings or strips. If they are already sliced, set them aside.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Heat the Olive Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  2. 5

    Sear the Chicken

    Add the seasoned chicken thighs to the skillet, skin-side down. Sear for about 5-7 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden brown.

  3. 6

    Flip the Chicken

    Carefully flip the chicken thighs and cook for an additional 5 minutes.

  4. 7

    Add Garlic and Vinegar Peppers

    Add the chopped garlic and vinegar peppers to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

  5. 8

    Cover and Simmer

    Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for 20-25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  6. 9

    Garnish (Optional)

    If desired, garnish with fresh parsley and sprinkle red pepper flakes before serving.
