These pan-roasted chicken thighs are a masterclass in achieving perfectly crisp skin and succulent, tender meat with minimal effort. By starting the chicken in a hot frying pan to render the fat and then finishing it in a high-temperature oven, you create a professional-standard main course using just three simple ingredients. This technique ensures the poultry remains moist while the seasoning penetrates deep into the meat for maximum flavour.
As a diabetes-friendly option, this dish is naturally low in carbohydrates and high in protein, making it an excellent foundation for a balanced evening meal. Serve these golden thighs alongside a crisp green salad or a medley of roasted Mediterranean vegetables for a healthy, satisfying dinner. It is a reliable, fuss-free recipe that brings a touch of gourmet quality to your home cooking routine.

Ingredients for Perfect Pan-Roasted Chicken Thighs
6 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs (about 1.0kg)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
How to make Perfect Pan-Roasted Chicken Thighs
Preheat oven to 246°C. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a 12" cast-iron or heavy nonstick skillet over high heat until hot but not smoking. Nestle chicken in skillet, skin side down, and cook 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-high; continue cooking skin side down, occasionally rearranging chicken thighs and rotating pan to evenly distribute heat, until fat renders and skin is golden brown, about 12 minutes.
Transfer skillet to oven and cook 13 more minutes. Flip chicken; continue cooking until skin crisps and meat is cooked through, about 5 minutes longer. Transfer to a plate; let rest 5 minutes before serving.
