Instructions

01
Season chicken thighs on both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and thyme, allowing them to come to room temperature for 10 minutes.

Heat the large skillet over medium-high heat and place chicken thighs skin-side down, cooking for 6-7 minutes until skin is golden brown and crispy.
