Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Peach Glazed Chicken Thighs
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Season both sides of the chicken thighs with kosher salt.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the peach preserves, honey, cider vinegar, soy sauce, ground ginger, and minced garlic. Whisk until well blended.
  3. Heat an oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken thighs skin-side down for about 5 minutes until golden brown.
  4. Brush the chicken thighs with the peach glaze, then bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, aiming for 165°F (74°C).
  5. Broil the thighs for an extra 2-3 minutes for a golden finish, monitoring closely to prevent burning.
  6. Remove from oven and let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
