how long to broil chicken thighs
1 1 tablespoon vegetable oil.  Preheat oven to 475Â°F. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a 12 cast-iron or heavy nonstick skillet over high heat until hot but not smoking. Nestle chicken in skillet, skin side down, and cook 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-high; continue cooking skin side down, occasionally rearranging chicken thighs and rotating pan to evenly distribute heat, until fat renders and skin is golden brown, about 12 minutes.
