Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken thighs skin-side down and sear, undisturbed, for 6–7 minutes, until the skin is deep golden and releases easily from the pan. Flip and sear the second side for 2 minutes, then transfer the thighs to a plate.
