Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, combine the turmeric, ground ginger, red pepper flakes, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of each chicken thigh.

Heat 1 tbsp of 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 5–6 minutes, until the skin is deep golden and releases easily from the pan. Flip and sear the second side for 2 minutes, then transfer the chicken to a plate. Pour off all but about 1 tsp of the rendered fat from the skillet.
