Must-Haves for Skillet Chicken Thighs<\/h2>\n
Chicken: <\/strong>Bone-in skin-on chicken has more flavor than boneless and makes this dish perfectly crispy. <\/p>\n
Oil:<\/strong> Vegetable oil is the go-to here due to its high smoke point (this means it can withstand high degrees of heat before it burns).<\/p>\n
Seasonings: <\/strong>Fresh rosemary makes this dish so elegant and adds a lightly floral flavor to the meat. While the lemon helps to add moisture and flavor to the chicken.<\/p>\n
Chef\u2019s Choice!<\/h2>\n
\n
Add mushrooms, baby red potatoes, sliced zucchini, onions, or butternut squash to the pan in Step 4. <\/li>\n
Drizzle finished thighs with a cream cheese sauce.<\/li>\n
Bacon grease is a great alternative that adds smoky flavor to chicken thighs. Refined coconut, avocado, peanut, and sunflower oils also work.<\/li>\n
Herbs and spices like sage, thyme, and oregano add earthy, aromatic flavors. Paprika and black pepper, or spice blends like lemon pepper or a Greek blend will make these skillet chicken thighs a new recipe every time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n
How to Make Skillet Chicken Thighs<\/h2>\n\n
Heat oil in a cast iron skillet.<\/li>\n
Cook the chicken, adding the rosemary and lemon slices (full recipe below)<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
Transfer to the oven and roast until the chicken is cooked through.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Spoon the juices over the chicken and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n
\n
\n
Cast iron is my go-to for this recipe because it provides even heat throughout the cooking process and increases iron absorption. An oven-safe pan will also work.<\/li>\n
Always check doneness using a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh away from the bone. It should read 165\u00b0F, but you can pull the chicken from the oven at around 162\u00b0F since it will continue to cook as the meat rests (this is called carryover cooking).<\/li>\n
You\u2019ll want to go back for seconds! So keep the leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 4 months.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
