Description

Crispy skin chicken with yuzu koshō is a flavorful dish featuring perfectly crisp chicken skin and a spicy, citrusy Japanese condiment.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

  2. Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Place chicken thighs skin-side down in the skillet. Sear for 5-7 minutes, until skin is golden brown and crispy.
