How To Make balsamic chicken thighs in cast iron pan

    Mix the brown sugar, vinegar and water together. Set aside. Sear the chicken on both sides to a deep brown. Pour the vinegar mixture over the chicken and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to med. Keep flipping the chicken and if the vinegar mixture starts to dry up add a 1/2 cup of water.
