Blackened Chicken Thighs


The secret to this crispy intense chicken is the slow cooking.
Serves 3

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon sour salt (powdered citrus acid)
2 teaspoons ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs

In a small bowl, combine paprika, sour salt, ground pepper, salt, garlic powder and cayenne; rub in oregano, thyme, and oil; mix well then sprinkle on all sides of chicken.

Add oil to skillet and sauté the chicken skin side down on low for 25 minutes. Flip chicken; and sauté other side for another 25 minutes. Transfer to a platter and tent with foil. Let chicken rest 10 minutes.

  1. I just started my low carb diet and stumbled across this recipe. I needed to find a different way to cook chicken thighs. This was so delicious. Looking forward to lunch tomorrow because I can't wait to dig into leftovers. Thank you Ellen!
