How to make Juicy, tender and flavorful chicken thighs

  • Season the chicken thighs with garlic, salt, chili powder, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Then heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and place the chicken.
  • Sear the chicken thighs for about 5 minutes or until they are easy to flip over. Sear the other side for an extra 5 minutes and add some water.
  • Continue cooking until the water evaporates and the meat starts to brown (about 2 to 4 minutes). Flip the meat allowing the other side to brown as well for about 2 minutes. remove from the heat and now its time to let the meat rest for a few minutes before serving.
