TOTAL TIME
1
Preheat oven to 475°F.
2
Pat dry chicken thighs. Season them all over generously with kosher salt and black pepper.
3
Heat avocado oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
4
When pan is hot but not smoking, place chicken, skin side down, and sear, occasionally rearranging chicken thighs and rotating pan to evenly distribute heat, until fat renders and skin is golden brown, about 8 minutes.
5
Transfer skillet to the preheated oven (chicken should still be skin side down) and cook for 10 more minutes.
6
Flip chicken and continue cooking until skin crisps and meat is cooked through, about 3 minutes longer.
7
Transfer chicken to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
8
While chicken is resting, heat ghee, Tabasco sauce, white vinegar, coconut aminos, minced garlic, cayenne pepper, paprika, and chili powder in a small saucepan over medium heat.
9
Let the sauce simmer for 3-5 minutes, reducing the heat if necessary, until it is fragrant and flavors have combined.
10
Place the chicken thighs in a large bowl. Pour sauce over the top and toss to coat.
11
Serve immediately and enjoy!
