• Rinse and pat dry your chicken thighs with paper towels. Season your flour with some salt to taste. Place the chicken in a bowl and sprinkle with the seasoned flour and toss to coat the pieces.
• Heat a large pot and once hot, sear your chicken for 1-2 minutes per side. Do not touch them or try to move the pieces until ready to flip over or else they will stick and tear. You'll know they're ready to flip when they are easily movable.
