Indian Spice Rubbed Chicken Thighs
Ingredients
2 teaspoons mild yellow curry powder
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
4 chicken thighs, skin on, bone-in
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Directions
Preheat oven to 400°F/200°C.
To a small bowl add all of the spices and salt, mix well.
If the skin is wrapped to the under-side of the thigh, trim this off.
Coat the thighs with the 2 teaspoons oil. Rub the spice rub onto the chicken thighs on all sides, lift the skin a little and put some under the skin, but be careful you don’t peel too much back.
Add the 1 tablespoon oil to an oven-proof sauté pan over medium heat. When the oil starts to ripple, add the thighs skin side down and cook for about 8-10 minutes.
Turn the thighs over and cook for another 5 minutes.
Transfer the pan to the oven and cook for 10 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 180°F/82 °C, depending on the size of your chicken thighs.
Serve warm with your favorite side dish.
