Step 2
• Heat 1.5 teaspoons of olive oil in a large, shallow skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the chicken thighs with 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
  
  Fry the meat until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Then brush the fried chicken thighs with the remaining sweet and sour sauce.
  
  Bake on a baking sheet with vegetables in the oven for 20-25 minutes. Serve with rice and the remaining sauce.
