For extra crispy skin, pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels before seasoning. Do not overcrowd the pan. Cook the chicken in batches if necessary to ensure proper searing. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked to a safe internal temperature. Experiment with different herbs and vinegars to customize the flavor profile.
