Crispy Boneless Chicken Thighs

Print Recipe

These Crispy Boneless Chicken Thighs are juicy on the inside, golden and crispy on the outside, and packed with savory flavor. Pan-seared to perfection, they’re an easy weeknight dinner favorite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 boneless, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp butter (optional, for finishing)
  • Fresh herbs or lemon wedges for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Trim excess fat if needed.
  2. In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. Rub the seasoning blend all over the chicken thighs.
  4. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place chicken thighs skin-side down and cook for 7–9 minutes without moving, until the skin is crispy and golden.
  5. Flip and cook for another 5–7 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  6. Optional: Add a tablespoon of butter and spoon over the chicken for added richness.
  7. Let rest a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon if desired.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, press the thighs down with a spatula while cooking skin-side down.
  • Use a cast iron skillet for best browning.
  • Delicious served with mashed potatoes, rice, or a fresh salad.
