Equipment
- 1 oven-proof skillet
Ingredients
- 6 bone-in chicken thighs
- ½ cup all purpose flour
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp pepper
- 2-4 Tbsp unsalted butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400º F. Trim excess fat from chicken. Mix flour with garlic powder, paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl.
- Cut up butter and place in an oven-proof skillet (cast iron works great if you have it). Place skillet in oven for 5 minutes until butter is melted and pan is hot. Carefully remove from oven.
- While pan is heating, dredge chicken in flour mixture on both sides and set aside. Carefully place in hot skillet, skin side down.
- Bake for 20 minutes, flip chicken (caution: pan, chicken, and drippings will be hot), and cook for another 20 minutes or until done (chicken should be at least 165º F when measured with an instant thermometer and juices should run clear if pierced with a sharp knife). Remember to use oven mitts when handling the hot skillet - it will take awhile to cool off.
