Ingredients

4 servings

1 tbsp coconut oil or light flavored olive oil
1½ lbs bone-in chicken thighs (depending on size (4 large pieces fill my skillet))
½ tsp kosher salt
¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
¼ tsp granulated garlic or garlic powder
1 tsp Italian seasoning
½ tsp dried oregano
½ tsp dried basil

Instructions

Set the chicken thighs on a large sheet pan or cutting board and generously sprinkle the skin side of the chicken thighs with half of all the spices. Turn the chicken over and sprinkle the other side of each thigh with the remaining seasonings.
Warm the oil in a large stainless or cast-iron skillet over medium heat. (A heavy non-stick skillet will work as well, although it isn't required.) Place the chicken in the hot skillet, skin side down.
Allow the chicken thighs to cook uncovered (though I HIGHLY recommend this splatter guard !), without moving them, for about 20-25 minutes. Let them cook until the fat has rendered and the skin is deep golden brown and crisp; this could take as long as 30 minutes before turning the chicken over.
If the skin is sticking to the pan, it likely isn't finished on that side. Reduce the heat as needed if the skin starts to burn before it is evenly golden brown.
Turn the thighs over and continue to cook for about 20 more minutes. When the meat closest to the bone is cooked through, the chicken is done.
