Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken thighs skin-side down in a single layer 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 thighs to a plate. Pour off all but about 1 tablespoon of fat from the pot.
