Tips:

  • To achieve crispy chicken, ensure the skin is dry before searing. Pat it dry with paper towels and season it generously with salt and pepper.
  • Use a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet or a heavy-bottomed pan for the best results. This will help create a flavorful and crispy crust on the chicken.
  • Sear the chicken over medium-high heat to create a golden brown crust. Once the skin is crispy, reduce the heat to medium and continue cooking until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Baste the chicken with the cooking juices throughout the cooking process. This will help keep it moist and flavorful.
  • Add vegetables like bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms to the pan during the last few minutes of cooking to create a delicious and colorful dish.
  • Serve the chicken with a flavorful sauce or gravy. Some popular options include a lemon-butter sauce, a tomato-based sauce, or a creamy mushroom sauce.
