We love pulling out the skillet for these easy Cast Iron Skillet Fried Chicken Thighs that are made with boneless, skinless chicken thighs. We also love cooking with chicken thighs because they are such a tasty part of the chicken and also the most economical.

  2. Using your cast iron skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
  3. Add chicken thighs to the pan, skin side down and let cook for about 12 minutes without turning.
  4. Flip the chicken and let cook on the other side for about 12 minutes.

chicken thighs

You can purchase a package of boneless chicken thighs at your grocery store or you can buy chicken thighs with skin and remove the skins yourself. Just lay chicken on a plate and gently tug at the skins until they pull off. It’s cheaper to purchase chicken with the skins and remove them yourself.  You can also read more about how to buy the best packaged chicken.
