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 brown and releases easily from the pan. Flip and sear the second side for 3 minutes, then transfer the chicken to a plate. Pour off all but about 1 tbsp of the drippings.
