Pat dry Chicken thighs with a kitchen towel.

Flip and cook the other side now for another 2 minutes on medium-high heat
Slowly pour ¼ cup stock to the side of the pan. Add rosemary sprig. Scrap the bottom of the pan to release any brown caramelized bits.
Cover the pan with a lid and cook on high heat for another 2 minutes.
Uncover and simmer it for another minute or so for a thick sauce to form.
Serve along with rice, beans, or veggies with the sauce drizzled on top.
