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.
How long to cook chicken thighs really depends on the size of the thighs and the oven temperature, but if you use bone-in, skin on thighs and bake at 450 degrees F, they will reach 165 degrees F internal temperature and be ready in about 25-30 minutes. Add the chicken and make sure that every piece is covered evenly. 2  Marinate in a fridge for at least 30 minutes to 2 hours or, better yet, overnight. 3  Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. 4  Place the chicken and all of the marinade in a baking dish.
