I do this for skin on, bone in chicken thighs.
Heat a pan (I use either a 10" cast iron or a 12" heavy carbon steel). Heat it on high until it is hot---maybe 5 minutes. While the pan is heating up salt the skin side of your chicken. When the pan is good and hot, add a little oil, swirl that around and add the chicken, skin side down. Then salt the top side and put a cover over the pan.
Depending on the size of your burner leave it on high for at least 5 minutes then turn it down to a medium heat and go away. Come back in 20 minutes and check the temperature with a meat thermometer. I like 165+. When you have hit or exceeded that goal----turn off the heat and take the chicken out.
The skin will be crispy and nothing will stick to the pan. Make sure you use a pan large enough that the chicken is not crowded.
That's all folks---sit down and enjoy
Tonight I made chicken thighs with fresh snow peas----4 minutes in the microwave
My wife, who does not cook, thinks I'm a genius----if she only knew
