Crispy Skillet Pastured Chicken Thighs

Pastured bone-in thighs pan-seared skin-down until shatteringly crisp, then finished in the oven.

Ingredients

1
Preheat oven to 400F. Pat the thighs very dry and season all over.
2
Place skin-side down in a cold oven-safe skillet with the oil, then turn the heat to medium.
3
Cook undisturbed 12-15 minutes, until the skin is deep golden and crisp.
4
Flip and transfer to the oven for 10-12 minutes, until 165F.

Farm tip: Start the thighs in a cold pan skin-down — the fat renders slowly for the crispiest skin.

Serving suggestion: Serve with rice and pan drippings or a simple salad.
