Place the paprika in a medium mixing bowl.

4
Toss in the chicken thighs and coat evenly in seasoning.
5
Warm some oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat until it shimmers.

Cook the chicken thighs in the hot oil. Depending on the size of the chicken thighs, they should be cooked through by the time they're browned on both sides. You can double check by slicing into the widest part of a chicken thigh and checking for pink, or if you want to be more accurate, make sure that the internal temperature is above 165°F.
