Place a cast-iron skillet on the stovetop and heat it over a medium-high flame until it is hot. No additional oil is needed as the chicken will cook in its own rendered fat.
⏱️ 3 min
- 3
Carefully place the seasoned chicken thighs into the hot cast-iron skillet. Cook without moving until deeply browned and slightly crispy on one side, approximately 7 minutes. The chicken will release its natural juices and fats.

Flip the chicken thighs and continue to cook on the second side until thoroughly cooked through, about 8 minutes. During this time, move the chicken around with a wooden spatula to ensure even cooking and to incorporate the pan drippings, which will reduce to a flavorful glaze.

Once the chicken thighs are fully cooked with a rich, golden-brown exterior, remove them from the pan and transfer to a cutting board. Allow them to rest for a few minutes before chopping into bite-sized pieces using a chef's knife and a fork.
