Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or deep 12-inch oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken pieces 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 second side for 3 minutes, then transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.
