Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large oven-safe 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken pieces skin-side down in a single layer and sear undisturbed for 5–6 minutes, until the skin is deep golden and releases easily from the pan. Flip and sear the second side for 3 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.
