Pan fried and oven baked chicken

This method, like braising, is a two-step process that combines the benefits of pan frying and baking, resulting in juicy meat with seared, crispy skin. Despite the fact that this is a hybrid cooking method, it is one of the simplest recipes to master. All you need is a cast iron pan, some oil, and a hot oven. To ensure that the chicken thighs cook evenly, allow them to come to room temperature first. Then add your spices. You can experiment here depending on the type of cuisine you're making — You should use salt, cayenne pepper, and smoked paprika.

Then, in a pan over medium-high heat, heat the oil — don't rush this step! Before adding the chicken, make sure your pan is hot. The chicken will then be cooked on the stove for a few minutes before being transferred to the oven for a few minutes more. Though this method combines two types of cooking, it likely has fewer steps than most other cooking processes — and it tastes just as good.
