Add the chicken thighs to a mixing bowl followed by the olive oil, paprika, garlic, thyme, hot pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined and the chicken is completely coated.

Pour some olive oil into a pan over medium high heat. I use a cast iron pan, but you can use any oven proof pan. Place the chicken in, skin side down, and fry it for about 4 minutes on each side. Allow it to cook until you get a nice sear on the skin side.
-
Place in a 450 degree F or 230 C preheated oven for about 15 minutes.

Serve you chicken thighs up with the side dish of your choice and enjoy.
