Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch oven-safe skillet or braiser over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken thighs 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 minutes, then transfer the chicken to a plate.
