Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken thighs skin-side down and sear undisturbed for 5–6 minutes, until the skin is deep golden brown and releases easily from the pan. Flip and sear the other side for 2 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside; leave the drippings in the skillet.
