Step 1
In a medium-size container, mix your chicken thighs with the avocado oil and ensure it is evenly coated. Continue by adding salt, pepper and flour and coat them evenly.

Add your garlic, ginger and apple cider vinegar to your veggie mixture and reduce the heat to low and cover. Let this cook for about 5 minutes while stirring occasionally.
