Crispy Cast Iron Skillet Chicken Thighs are always a hit with the family and are a mostly hands-off dinner that is ready in less than 30 minutes! They have a similar texture to fried chicken, but a much lighter choice. The skin becomes deliciously crispy while the meat underneath is moist and tender, perfect to pair with any side!
