Method
Preparation
- Prepare the Chicken: In a small bowl, combine the kosher salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well.
- Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season them evenly with the spice mixture on both sides.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the vegetable oil.
- Once the oil is hot, add the seasoned chicken thighs to the skillet (you may need to work in batches if the skillet is small).
- Cook the chicken for about 5 minutes without moving it, allowing it to develop a golden-brown crust.
- Flip the chicken thighs over, reduce the heat to medium-low, and cook for an additional 5 minutes or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Cooking times may vary depending on the size of the chicken thighs.
- Make the Bang Bang Sauce: Remove the cooked chicken from the skillet and place it onto a plate. Tent with foil to keep warm.
- Pour the bang bang sauce into the skillet, stirring to scrape up the brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the sauce simmer for 1-2 minutes until heated through.
- Coat the Chicken: Return the chicken thighs to the skillet and coat each piece with the bang bang sauce, ensuring they are evenly covered.
- Serve: Garnish the chicken with chopped green onions and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious Skillet Bang Bang Chicken Thighs!
