Notes

• If you do not have an oven-safe skillet, you can transfer the chicken thighs to a baking dish to bake. 
• To tell if the thighs are cooked, use an instant-read thermometer to measure the internal temperature of the thighs, which should be 165°F.
• Make sure to get chicken thighs with the bone in and skin on for maximum flavour. 
• To store: Store leftover thighs in an airtight container for up to 4 days. 
• To reheat: Reheat the chicken thighs in the oven to keep the skin crispy. 
• To freeze: You can freeze cooked chicken for up to 3 months in a freezer-safe bag.
