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.

Remove cooked chicken from the skillet. Place onto a plate and tent to keep warm.
