Creating Sweet & Savory Sticky Cherry Chicken Thighs is a simple process when following these easy steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Prepare Chicken: Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

3. Sear Chicken: In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken thighs skin-side down and sear for 4-5 minutes until golden brown. Flip and sear the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes.

4. Make Cherry Glaze: In a small bowl, combine cherries, soy sauce, honey, apple cider vinegar, garlic, and ginger. Stir until well mixed.

5. Add Glaze to Chicken: Pour the cherry mixture over the chicken thighs in the skillet, ensuring they are well coated.

6. Bake Chicken: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the glaze is sticky and caramelized.

7. Baste for Extra Flavor: Halfway through baking, baste the chicken with the glaze to enhance flavor.

8. Rest Chicken: Once cooked, remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes.

9. Garnish: Sprinkle with chopped green onions if desired before serving.

10. Serve Hot: Serve the chicken thighs with the sticky cherry sauce drizzled over them.
