Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Preheat the oven

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

2
Prepare the chicken

Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

3
Prepare the plums

Wash plums. Cut in half and remove pits. Cut each half into 2-3 wedges.

4
Prepare the ginger

Peel the ginger. Grate or finely mince.

5
Prepare the garlic

Peel the garlic cloves. Mince finely.

6
Prepare the thyme

If using fresh thyme, remove leaves from stems. Chop if needed.

7
Sear the chicken

Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Place chicken thighs skin-side down in the hot skillet. Sear for 5 minutes until skin is golden brown. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove chicken to a plate.

8
Make the sauce

In the same skillet, add grated ginger and minced garlic. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add red wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in honey until dissolved.

9
Combine ingredients

Add plum wedges to the skillet, stirring to coat with sauce. Return chicken to the skillet, skin-side up. Sprinkle thyme over everything. Spoon some sauce over the chicken.

10
Bake

Transfer skillet to preheated oven. Bake for 30-35 minutes until chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C) and plums are soft.

11
Finish the dish

Remove from oven. If desired, spoon off excess fat from the surface of the sauce. Taste sauce and adjust seasoning with remaining salt if needed.

12
Serve

Serve chicken with plums and sauce spooned over the top. Garnish with additional fresh thyme if desired.
