Ingredients
- 4 bone-in, skin on chicken thighs
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- kosher salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce such as Frank's
- 2 tablespoons honey
- chopped fresh cilantro and/or bleu cheese crumbles for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Season the chicken on both sides with plenty of salt and pepper.
- Melt the butter (1 tablesoon) and olive oil (1 tablespoon) together over medium-high heat in an oven-proof cast iron or stainless steel skillet.
- Once the skillet is hot, add the chicken thighs skin side down. Leave them for five minutes.
- Remove skillet from heat and flip chicken to skin side up. The chicken should release from the bottom of the skillet easily and the skin should be crispy and seared- if they do not, let them sit for a couple more minutes.
- Roast in the oven at 375 degrees for 20 minutes.
- Remove from oven and place chicken on a plate temporarily. Whisk in the hot sauce (2 tablespoons) and honey (2 tablespoons) to the drippings in the skillet. Add the chicken back into the skillet skin side up and spoon the sauce over each thigh by tilting the skillet.
- Roast for another 5 minutes, remove skillet, tilt it to the side, and spoon sauce over each thigh.
- Repeat this two more times, until the chicken has roasted for a total of 35 minutes (or is cooked to an internal temperature of 160 degrees).
- Serve drizzled with extra sauce.
Notes
- For a dairy free/paleo version, substitute the butter with ghee or olive oil.
