Poultry Essentials: Easy Crispy Chicken Thighs image

I made this recipe for a quick, tasty late night/early morning meal. I served it with some leftover chicken-stock-infused white rice. You could add additional spices; however, I wanted to keep this simple, and I wanted to taste the wonderful flavors of the chicken. So, you ready... Let's get into the kitchen.

Categories     Chicken

Number Of Ingredients 8

PLAN/PURCHASE
2 medium chicken thighs, bone in, skin on
1 tablespoon(s) olive oil
- salt, kosher variety, to taste
- black pepper, freshly ground, to taste
1 tablespoon(s) sweet butter, unsalted
ADDITIONAL ITEMS
- rice, mash potatoes, or veggies, as a side

Steps:

  • PREP/PREPARE
  • Chef's Note: I made this recipe using a baking sheet, and sauté pan (as the photos indicate). The next time I do this, I will use an ovenproof pan, and make this a one-pan dish.
  • Gather your Ingredients (mise en place).
  • Place a rack in the middle position, and preheat the oven to 250f (120c).
  • Take the two chicken thighs, brush both sides with the olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and then place (skin side up) on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Place in the preheated oven for 45 - 50 minutes.
  • Add the butter to a sauté pan, over medium-high heat.
  • When the foaming subsides, add the chicken breasts, skin side down, and then using your fingers, or a spatula, press the chicken thighs into the pan.
  • Flip when the skin is a nice golden brown, about 2 - 3 minutes, and allow the other side to cook for about 60 seconds.
  • PLATE/PRESENT
  • Slice, and serve with your favorite side. Enjoy.
  • Chef's Note: To make this even easier, I used some leftover chicken-stock-infused white rice.
  • Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
