- 1 tsp fine sea salt
- 1 ½ tsp ground turmeric

- ½ tsp ceylon cinnamon
- 2 tbsp coconut oil

- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, finely grated
- 1 cup chicken bone broth

Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Pat the chicken thighs completely dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, combine the salt, turmeric, ground ginger, and Ceylon cinnamon, then rub the mixture evenly over all sides of the chicken.

Heat the coconut oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken thighs skin-side down in a single layer — work in two batches if needed to avoid crowding — and sear undisturbed for 5 to 6 minutes, until the skin is deep golden and releases easily from the pot. Flip and sear the second side for 3 minutes, then transfer the chicken to a plate.
