Ingredients

  • 6 boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 recipe bang bang sauce, or 1 cup storebought
  • green onions, chopped for garnish

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, combine salt, black pepper, and paprika.
  • Apply the seasoning mixture evenly to the chicken.
  • To a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, add oil. Once hot, add chicken thighs. (Depending on the size of the skillet, you may have to work in batches.) Cook chicken for 5 minutes. Then, flip over the chicken, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Cooking times may vary, depending on the size of the chicken.
  • Remove cooked chicken from the skillet. Place onto a plate and tent to keep warm.
  • Pour the bang bang sauce into the skillet. Stir, scraping up the brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Let simmer for 1-2 minutes, or until heated through.
  • Place the chicken thighs back into the skillet, coating each with the sauce.
  • Garnish with green onions. Serve.
