4 servings
For the chicken
- 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 2 lb total)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp ground cumin

Ingredient noteDried smoked paprika can sometimes contain mold toxins, but the small amount in this recipe—about 1/4 teaspoon per serving—is likely tolerated by many. When possible, use a recently purchased organic spice and store it tightly closed in a cool, dry place. If you prefer to always avoid smoked paprika, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- ½ tsp ground coriander

- ¼ tsp black pepper
Ingredient noteDried black pepper can sometimes contain mold toxins, but the small amount in this recipe—about a pinch per serving—is likely tolerated by many. When possible, use a recently purchased organic spice and store it tightly closed in a cool, dry place. If you prefer to always avoid black pepper, please tap it and change its rating to Red.

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). In a small bowl, combine the cumin, smoked paprika, coriander, turmeric, 1/2 tsp salt, and black pepper. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels, then rub them all over with 2 tbsp olive oil followed by the spice mixture.

Heat a 12-inch oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until very hot, about 2 minutes. Place the chicken thighs skin-side down and sear undisturbed for 5 minutes, until the skin is deep golden and releases easily from the pan. Flip the thighs and transfer the skillet to the oven.
