Instructions:

  1. Generously season chicken thighs with salt, pepper, and paprika.
  2. Melt 2 Tbsp. butter in a large oven-proof skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken, skin-side down, and sear both sides until golden brown. Drain excess fat. Set aside chicken, covered in foil, or keep warm in 350° oven.

  5. Return chicken to the skillet. Bake at 400˚F (200˚C) for 25 minutes.
  6. Enjoy!
