Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe 12-inch skillet or braiser over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken pieces skin-side down in a single layer and sear undisturbed for 6–7 minutes, until the skin is deep golden and releases easily from the pan. Flip and sear the second side for 3–4 minutes, until golden. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.
