Step 1
Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt, pepper, and minced garlic.
Step 2
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers. Lay chicken thighs flat and sear without moving for 5 minutes.
Step 3
Flip chicken, squeeze lime juice over top, and cook 5 more minutes until internal temp hits 165°F and skin is golden.
Step 4
While chicken cooks, bake fries according to package directions and toss shredded cabbage with a pinch of salt and lime juice.
Step 5
Warm rice if needed. Plate chicken alongside fries, rice, cabbage slaw, and hot sauce.
