Servings 2 servings

- 4 organic bone-in chicken thighs
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning blend or herbs de provence
Instructions
- Clean and pat dry chicken thighs with paper towels and place on a plate or in a bowl
- Drizzle chicken with olive oil and season chicken liberally with salt, pepper and herb de provence
- Massage the chicken with the seasonings being sure to get the seasoning all over the chicken thighs and under the skin
- To a cast iron skillet, add a drizzle of oil and pan-sear chicken thighs for 5 minutes per side on medium high heat
- Finish cooking the chicken thighs in the oven at 450 degrees for 15 minutes until fully cooked through and internal temperature has registered 165 degrees F
Notes
Cook time will vary based on the size of your chicken thighs--larger chicken thighs will take longer, up to an hour. Use a meat thermometer to be sure and when juices run clear when meat is pierced with a fork it's done! I don't recommend boneless thighs for this method.
