CRISPY SKIN CHICKEN THIGHS RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients. Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat to 425 F (220 C/Gas 7).
• Pat the thighs dry with paper towels. Sprinkle generously on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Heat the oil in a large, heavy-duty, oven-safe skillet (cast iron is perfect) over medium-high heat.
• When the oil shimmers, arrange the chicken thighs in the skillet, skin-side down. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the skin is well browned, moving the thighs occasionally to make sure they are browning evenly. Do not turn them over.
• Place the skillet in the oven and continue cooking, skin-side down, until mostly cooked through, another 10 to 15 minutes. Turn over the thighs and continue cooking for 5 minutes longer.
• To test for doneness, insert a food thermometer into the thickest part of a thigh. The minimum safe temperature for chicken and other poultry is 165 F (74 C). Serve and enjoy.
