Chipotle Chicken Thighs

Step 2: Sear the chicken

  • Chicken thighs

    • neutral oil
      a spritzfor searing

    • chopped, seasoned chicken

Preheat a pan over medium-high heat. Coat the pan in a thin layer of neutral cooking oil, then add all the seasoned chicken to and begin cooking through.

Occasionally stir & scrape the chicken off the bottom of the pan. Expect some water content to release from the chicken and mix with the seasoning to form a sauce.

  • If it’s too watery or loose, increase the heat to excess moisture.
  • If the pan is too dry, add a splash of water to any stuck bits and prevent burning.

When the chicken is cooked and the seasoning clings to each piece, remove it from the heat.
