Chicken thighs are one of my favorite cuts to use. Chicken thighs are flavorful, moist and budget friendly. My secret for getting crispy skin when pan roasting chicken thighs to to pat them completely dry with paper towels and salt well before searing the chicken skin side down. This results crispy skin every time.
