| 4 thigh(s) | Chicken thighs, with skin |
| 1 tsp | Garlic powder |
| 1/2 tbsp | Kosher salt |
| 1 tsp | Black pepper |
| 1 tsp, ground | Thyme, dried |
1. Preheat oven to 450° F.
2. Combine 1/2 tablespoon kosher salt, 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves. Lift the skin and season the meat of the chicken thighs liberally with the salt mixture. Season each thigh evenly. Be sure to season under the skin. Not on the skin.
3. Heat an oven safe skillet over mid-high heat. When heated, place the chicken thighs skin side down into the hot skillet in a single layer. I always do this in a dry pan. No need to oil the pan. Allow the chicken to sear, untouched, for 5-6 minutes until the chicken releases without sticking to the pan. Use tongs to gently lift the chicken thighs and flip over each piece. If the skin sticks allow them to sear another minute or so until they release.
4. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and cook for 20-25 minutes until thighs reach 165° F. Check the temp using an instant read thermometer. When thighs are done, remove from pan and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
Serve and enjoy!
