Boneless chicken thighs or chicken breasts, whole, in strips or cubed on skewers, seasoned with dry spices or marinated (usually with honey and soy, or lemon and garlic, sometimes in yogurt), seared on a very hot grill pan, fried in oil in a wide pan, or skewered over coals on a grill, a few minutes per side, until golden and cooked through. Sometimes they're finished in a lemon garlic butter sauce, and sometimes vegetables are grilled in the same pan. The skewers sometimes also carry beef cubes, onion or chicken livers.
Sprinkle the chicken on all sides with the paprika, salt and black pepper.

Heat the olive oil in a large pan over high heat.

💡What you brown (meat, patties, schnitzel) goes into hot oil: in lukewarm oil it soaks it up and comes out greasy. For onion and garlic that you soften, oil heated over medium or low heat is enough; do not wait for it to smoke.
3
Fry the chicken in a single layer 4 minutes per side, until it is golden and cooked through.
Stove
💡Chicken pieces in a single layer, left alone until the underside releases, sear and brown; in a crowded pan they release liquid and steam.
