Season the chicken thighs. Heat the oil in a medium frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sear for 3 minutes until slightly crispy and golden brown. Turn over and sear for a further 2 minutes. Transfer the chicken to an ovenproof dish. Add the sauce to the frying pan and simmer on low for 30 seconds, scraping the bottom of the pan.
