Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 tablespoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 8 bone-in skin-on chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. In a small bowl, combine cumin, paprika, chili powder, oregano, garlic powder and onion powder; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Season chicken thighs with spice mixture, rubbing in thoroughly on all sides.
  3. Melt butter in a large oven-proof skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken, skin-side down, and sear both sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from heat and stir in buttermilk.
  4. Place into oven and roast until completely cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 175 degrees F, about 25-30 minutes.
  5. Serve chicken immediately, garnished with cilantro, if desired.
