Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large Dutch oven 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 brown and releases easily from the pot. Flip and sear the second side for 3 minutes, then transfer the chicken to a plate. Leave the rendered fat in the pot.
