Starting spiced skin-on chicken thighs in a cold pan gives the skin extra time to render and crisp. For an easy, one-pan weeknight dinner, the chicken goes on top of a pile of silky cabbage to finish in the oven. Thawing frozen peas under cold water and adding them just for the last five minutes of cooking keeps them tender, sweet, and bright green.
