Step 1
Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.
Step 3
Place chicken skin-side down in the skillet. Cook without moving for 8 minutes until skin is golden and crispy.
Step 4
Flip chicken and cook 6 minutes more until an instant-read thermometer reaches 165°F at the thickest part.
Step 5
Push chicken to the side. Add garlic to the empty space and cook 30 seconds until fragrant, then swirl in.
Step 6
Drizzle fish sauce and lime juice over chicken. Top with dill, scallions, and chile. Serve hot from the pan.
