Ingredients
Instructions
Pat the chicken thighs completely dry with paper towels.
Season the chicken generously on both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Tuck fresh herbs under the skin, if using.
Place the skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil or avocado oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Let the oil heat up until it shimmers.
Carefully place the chicken thighs skin-side down in the hot skillet. Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
Press down on the chicken with a spatula for the first minute or two to ensure good contact with the pan.
Let the chicken cook undisturbed for 8-10 minutes, or until the skin is golden brown and crispy.
Carefully flip the chicken thighs over. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for another 8-10 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest on a wire rack for 5-10 minutes before serving.
