Step 1
Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.

Fry chicken skin-side down until golden and crispy, about 8 minutes. Do not move it.
Step 4
Flip and cook another 6 minutes until cooked through and skin is deep golden-brown.
Step 5
Push chicken to the side of the skillet. Add minced garlic to the oil, stir constantly until fragrant, about 60 seconds.
