Crispy No-Oil Chicken

Ingredients

4 small skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs
1 tsp cooking salt
1/2 tsp black pepper

Method

1. Dry the chicken flesh with paper towels.

2. Place the chicken skin-side down, in a cold, large, non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Cover with a lid and let the chicken cook for 10 minutes.

3. Uncover, then turn down the heat to medium-low and cook for another 20 minutes.

4. Flip the chicken and cook the flesh side for 5 minutes.

5. Transfer the chicken to a plate and rest for 3 minutes, then serve.

Serves 2.

Notes

I served this with some roasted potatoes and a green salad (lettuce, green onion, cucumber, cooked green beans, white balsamic, and olive oil).
