📝 Preparation Steps
1
Stir 2 Tbsp. Old Bay or Creole seasoning and 1 Tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder in a small bowl to combine. Sprinkle spice mix all over 2 lb. skinless, boneless chicken thighs (4–6), patted dry. Heat 3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Arrange chicken in a single layer and cook, turning halfway though, until blackened in spots, cooked through, and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a thigh registers 165°, 10–⏱️ 14 minutes total, depending on thickness. Transfer chicken to a plate.
