Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe 12-inch skillet or braiser over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken pieces skin-side down in a single layer and sear undisturbed for 6–7 minutes, until the skin is deep golden brown and releases easily from the pan. Flip and sear the second side for 3 minutes, then transfer the chicken to a plate.
