Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons South Carolina Gold BBQ Infused Olive Oil Blend
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 small yellow onion thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
  • 1/4 cup yellow mustard
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Equipment

  • 1 Large skillet Heavy-bottomed skillet preferred
  • 1 Mixing bowl For the sauce
  • 1 whisk For blending the glaze
  • 1 Tongs For turning the chicken
  • 1 Instant-read thermometer To check doneness

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Pat the chicken thighs dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  2. Whisk together the barbecue sauce, yellow mustard, apple cider vinegar, honey, smoked paprika, and water in a small bowl.
  3. Warm the South Carolina Gold BBQ Infused Olive Oil Blend with the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  4. Add the sliced onion and cook until soft and lightly golden, about 4 to 5 minutes.
  5. Move the onion to the side of the pan, add the chicken thighs, and sear until browned on the first side, about 4 minutes.
  6. Flip the chicken, pour in half of the sauce, and reduce the heat to medium-low.
  7. Cover and cook until the chicken reaches 165°F and the sauce thickens, spooning the glaze over the top as it cooks, about 12 to 16 minutes.
  8. Uncover, add the remaining sauce, and simmer for 1 to 2 minutes until glossy.
  9. Finish with chopped parsley and serve hot with extra sauce from the pan.

Notes

For the best texture, use chicken thighs because they stay juicy while the glaze reduces. If you prefer a grill finish, cook the chicken over medium heat and brush on the sauce during the final minutes. The featured blend’s paprika, thyme, and mustard notes give the sauce a true Carolina-style backbone.
