Instructions
- Lay chicken thighs out on a cutting board, and using sharp kitchen scissors, cut out bone from thigh.
- Remove bones (save them for chicken stock if you make your own!)
- Pound chicken flat and make sure they are very dry, pat with paper towel if needed.
- Generously salt and pepper meat side of chicken (don't salt fat side, as it can easily burn).
- Heat a cast iron (or heavy) pan on high heat, so it is scorching hot (but not smoking).
- Reduce heat to medium-high.
- Add ghee/butter to pan, and let melt.
- Add chicken to pan, starting with the fat side down.
- Let fat crisp and chicken brown, about 7 minutes.
- Flip chicken and cook until 165 degrees internal temp - about 6 minutes.
- Let rest 2-5 minutes and pat off any excess butter softly with a paper towel.
- If desired, cut chicken into strips.
