Step:

  1. Start by deboning the chicken thighs and trimming large flaps of loose skin

  2. Salt and pepper the skin of the thighs and slowly sear skin side down until golden brown. Salt and pepper the flesh side and flip, quickly sear the other side. Place in the oven to keep warm. (I use a bacon press to really get the skin crispy. (The thighs have enough fat so do not add oil if using a non stick pan)
