Crispy Pan-fried Chicken Thighs

I was looking for a tasty way to cook chicken skin, and found an interesting recipe in the ANA in-flight magazine which I used as the basis for this recipe.
You just need to weigh down the meat, and cook slowly over low heat.
One trick is to blot up the excess liquid and fat that comes out. If you don't, the skin won't crisp up. Recipe by u-kumico

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Make cuts to make the meat an even thickness, and pierce the skin all over with the tip of the knife to prevent shrinking.
- 2
Sprinkle salt and pepper all over the skin. Place the chicken skin-side down in a frying pan without oil.
- 3
If you leave the meat to fry like this, it'll curl up, so lay a flat plate on top of the meat, and place a weight on top while frying it.
- 4
If you don't have an appropriate weight, you can use a small saucepan filled with about 500 ml of water. Fry the chicken this way for about 20 minutes on very low heat.
- 5
Once you've cooked it for 20 minutes, oils and juices will come out of the meat, so soak up the liquids completely with a paper towel and fry over medium heat for another minute.
- 6
Once the skin has turned golden brown, flip the chicken thigh to cook the meat side. At this time, pour the sake in the pan around the chicken, and fry at medium-low heat for 5 to 6 minutes.
- 7
Once the chicken has cooked through (it is ready if you press it and it springs back), remove it to a tray, and once it has cooled a bit, cut it into easy-to-eat pieces and lay out on a plate.
- 8
Since this has been seasoned only with salt and pepper, you could dip with a little yuzu pepper paste.

Super Juicy Super Crispy Fried Chicken Thighs Super Juicy Super Crispy Fried Chicken Thighs
About 20 years ago I made the best fried chicken of my life. I have never replicated that recipe. My problem then was just adding some of this, a bit of that. I have come close but just never the same in taste or in texture. I have never given up trying and I think this is as close I ever got to recreating it. It turned out so tasty, juicy and just the right crispness. You can use this recipe to fry any chicken. Skin on, skinless. Breasts, wings thighs or legs. Taylor Topp Comacho -

The sweet and sour flavors of this dish will stimulate your appetite. Adjust the amount of the honey if necessary. You might feel this dish will turn out too sweet, but the salt, pepper and soy sauce help bring the sweetness down a little. This dish is good to place in lunch boxes, so pack in your bento!!Remove skin from the chicken if you like, but I think the oils released from the skin makes this dish tastier. Remove it if you don't like greasy food.During Step 6, turn up the heat to thicken the sauce. Be careful not to let the sauce burn while reducing. Recipe by Rika&chako cookpad.japan -

Fried Chicken Thighs Cor-rect Fried Chicken Thighs Cor-rect
When my wife and I were working at this place in the city called Zero Zero, one of our most popular starters was these fried chicken thighs. One night she checked in on a table to see how their meal was going and the response was, "Cor-Rect! These chicken thighs are cor-rect, as always." For some reason that stuck with us, and this has always seemed to me to be the cor-rect way to fry chicken.For a really great, and somewhat unexpected dipping sauce, stir some ground cumin into a little greek yogurt. Or, just serve with fried rosemary and a bowl of lemon slices.You can use breast meat, but it's kinda a whole different story, so I'd recommend looking for a recipe specific to chicken breast in that case.
