  1. Remove chicken skin. Pour oil
  into 10-12" frying pan over medium-high heat. Add
  chicken and brown, turning as needed, 8-12 minutes.
  Add tomatillos, onion, chilies, and garlic. Cover and
  simmer, turning chicken occasionally, until meat is no
  longer pink at thigh bone (cut to test), about 30
  minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer chicken to a
  platter; keep warm. 2. Boil sauce, uncovered, over
  high heat until most of the liquid evaporates, 6-8
  minutes. Pour sauce over chicken. Sprinkle with
  cilantro. Add salt and pepper to taste.
