1 1 tablespoon vegetable oil.  Preheat oven to 475Â°F. 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.
Place the chicken thighs in a pan. Season with salt, pepper and cumin. Add the cilantro, garlic and scallions. Drizzle with the juices. Place chicken into oven and bake for about 25 to 35 minutes â until completely cooked through (an inserted thermometer should read 170 degrees). If the chicken is not cooked through in this time, cook it for longer. Do not eat raw chicken. Remove from oven and roll in sauce.
