Cardamom Chicken with Salt and Pepper Crust image

Don't be turned off by the idea of 'just' salt and pepper. The marinade is intense with flavor, but it's the final seasoning of simple salt and pepper that really makes it delicious. Gotta use Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper here, please don't bother with the regular stuff. Such a difference.

Tips:

Mise en place: (French for "putting in place"). This is a French culinary phrase which means to have all of the ingredients measured, cut, peeled, sliced, and ready to add before beginning to cook.
Use a meat thermometer: To ensure that the chicken is cooked through, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the thigh. The internal temperature should read 165°F (74°C).
Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, be sure to not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
Use a well-seasoned pan: A well-seasoned pan will help to prevent the chicken from sticking and will also add flavor to the dish.
Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken is dry and tough. Be sure to cook the chicken just until it is cooked through.
Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as mint or cilantro, will add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.
