Due to the juicy nature of dark meat, these pan fried chicken thighs pack a ton of flavor. They are also a great way to get the crispiness of fried chicken without using white flour. When I’m feeling decadent, I like to pour some warm honey-garlic sauce over the finished product for even more flavor. This is a quick, flavorful meal for those who are looking to please their taste buds without a lot of time spent in the kitchen.
