In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs, skin-side down, and sear them for 5-7 minutes. Flip the chicken and cook for an additional 5 minutes.

Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant. Stir in the brown sugar and water, making sure to cover the chicken thighs evenly with the sauce.

Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the chicken cook for 8-10 minutes, until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken.

Remove the skillet from the heat and spoon the sauce over the chicken. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for garnish and serve immediately.
