Method
Chicken
1
Pat the chicken thigh skin dry with a paper towel and season all sides with salt. Place the chicken skin-side down in a cold skillet, then turn the heat to medium-high. Cook undisturbed for 8 to 10 minutes to render the fat and achieve a very crispy skin. Flip and cook the other side for 3 minutes until cooked through. Remove chicken to rest, then slice into thick strips.
Butter Sauce
2
Pour off most of the rendered chicken fat from the pan, leaving about 1 tablespoon. Turn off the heat completely. Whisk in the butter, water, and egg yolk rapidly into the warm pan off the heat, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens into a creamy, smooth sauce. Season with a pinch of salt.
Plate
3
Arrange the sliced crispy chicken thighs in a shallow bowl and pour the warm butter-egg sauce directly over the meat.
