Step 1
To a large bowl, add the chicken thighs, olive oil, chipotle adobo paste, chili powder, garlic, salt, coriander, oregano, black pepper, and cumin. Mix all together to coat the chicken evenly in the marinade.
Step 2
Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Once it's hot, add a drizzle of oil to the pan. Add the chicken in, making sure not to crowd them. Cook in two batches if needed. Once golden brown on one side, about 5 to 6 minutes, flip over. Allow the other side to get golden brown, about 6 minutes. Add a splash of water to the pan (about 1/4 cup) and scrape the bottom of the pan to get all the crispy flavorful bits stuck at the bottom. Then drop the heat to low and cook for 1 to 2 more minutes or until the chicken is cooked through to the center.
