Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken thighs in a single layer and cook undisturbed for 5–6 minutes, until the underside is deep golden and releases easily from the pan. Flip and cook for another 5–6 minutes, until the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) on an instant-read thermometer at the thickest part. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.
