Categories     Chicken Thigh & Leg

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

6 skin-on bone-in chicken thighs or 2 1/4 lbs chicken thighs
kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 475°. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a 12" cast-iron or heavy nonstick skillet over high heat until hot but not smoking. Nestle chicken in skillet, skin side down, and cook 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-high; continue cooking skin side down, occasionally rearranging chicken thighs and rotating pan to evenly distribute heat, until fat renders and skin is golden brown, about 12 minutes.
  • Transfer skillet to oven and cook 13 more minutes. Flip chicken; continue cooking until skin crisps and meat is cooked through, about 5 minutes longer. Transfer to a plate; let rest 5 minutes before serving.
