Instructions
- 1
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Heat the olive oil in a large 6-quart pot over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken thighs skin-side down and sear undisturbed for 4–5 minutes, until the skin is golden and releases easily from the pot.

Flip the chicken and sear the second side for 2 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside. Pour off all but about 1 tablespoon of fat from the pot.
