This super simple Skillet Roasted Chicken Thighs recipe requires just 5 minutes of prep time making it ideal for busy weeknights. The result is juicy, perfectly tender chicken with deliciously crispy skin every time!

Okay, this is just a quick one, but I promise it’s a total game changer. This recipe has been tested over many years and is hands down my favourite way to prepare chicken portions without using a grill!

Here’s everything you’ll need to make these Skillet Roasted Chicken Thighs

  • 4-6 chicken thighs, legs or breasts
  • Kosher or fine sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper

That’s it!

The secret? Broiling the chicken just before roasting is key to getting those crispy edges!

Even better? Oven roasting the chicken in a cast iron skillet means no messy stovetop clean-up, making it a double win.

  • Pepper grinder

Ingredients

  • 4-6 chicken thighs legs or breasts
  • Kosher or fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

  • Turn your oven to broil, then pat dry and season chicken with salt and pepper placing them skin side down in a cast iron pan.
  • Broil for 6 minutes, then turn and broil for another 8 minutes. Remove pan from oven and adjust temperature to 475ĀŗF (246ĀŗC).
  • Once temperature is reached, roast skin side down for 14 minutes then turn and roast for 6 minutes more. Transfer skillet to wire cooling rack and let chicken rest for 10-15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Temperature: Cook time may vary slightly based on size. Always aim to cook to an internal temperature of 165ĀŗF (74ĀŗC).
Rest time: Letting the chicken rest is an important step. Just like a good roast, letting the chicken rest before serving allows the juices to redistribute keeping the chicken moist and tender.
Storage: Oven roasted chicken thighs will keep well in the fridge for 3-4 days in a well-sealed container. To reheat, return chicken to baking pan and heat in 350ĀŗF (177ĀŗC) oven for 20 minutes or so until warmed through.
