Instructions

1
Preheat oven to 250°F.
2
Season thighs liberally on both sides with seasoning. Place thighs skin side down in a Dutch oven or any large oven safe pot with a tight fitting lid.
3
Add bay leaves, garlic and oil to pot. Thighs should be completely submerged in oil, add more oil if necessary.
4
Place lid on pot and bake 3 hours, or until internal temperature of thighs reaches 175°F.
5
Remove thighs from oil to a rack to drain.
6
Rest thighs, then remove any bones and top with a teaspoon of reserved cooking oil to keep moist.
7
Season with more seasoning as needed and serve on a tostada, taco or in enchiladas.
8
**Optional instructions: In a non-stick sauté pan set over medium-high heat sear cooked thighs skin side down until skin is nice and crispy. This recipe works great for tostadas.
