CAST IRON SKILLET CHICKEN RECIPE
4 bone-in, skin-on, chicken thighs (about 6 ounces each)
2 teaspoon coconut oil
kosher salt and pepper
garlic powder (optional)
smoked paprika (optional)
Preheat oven to 425ºF.
Pat chicken dry with some paper towels to absorb excess moisture.
Season skin side generously with salt and pepper. Flip and season the meat with salt and pepper and any additional spices you like (if you decide to stick to salt and pepper, your chicken will still be delicious).
Heat cast iron skillet over a medium heat. Add coconut oil to coat the bottom of the pan (if you have excess oil in the pan, carefully wipe it out with a paper towel).
Once the oil is hot, place chicken skin side down in the pan and set your timer for 6 minutes. You want to brown the skin to a golden brown color. The chicken will easily release from the pan when it is done.
Flip the chicken and pop into the oven for 20-25 minutes or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165ºF.
Serve an enjoy!

I bake the chicken breast at pre heated 375 instead for about 10-15 mins. It’s moist and not over cooked. Love this technique thank you so much for teaching it to me !!

I love my cast iron skillets. They account for about 90% of my cooking. This sounds like a good recipe and a little on the economical side as well since thighs cost less than white meat. I like the idea of that splatter guard. I am going to have to try and find one of those. Your videos are great! Simple and healthy!

Some of the newer pans have the cast texture in the bottom of the pan, that causes sticking. If you look at your grandmother's pans, they will be smooth as glass. I bought all mine used, with this in mind, but seems like you could smooth it out with some sand paper.

Yum! I don't wait til the skillet is "getting hot," (3:01) to add the oil. I add it in the beginning. If one adds the oil even a little past the ambiguous "nice and hot" point, scorched oil will result. I've made that mistake more than once!
