Chicken Thigh

Chicken thigh is the upper leg portion of the bird, sold bone-in or boneless, skin-on or skinless. It stays juicy and tender with a rich, savory flavor and can render crackling skin when roasted; it excels in grilling, braising, roasting, and quick stir-fries, and is commonly sold as whole thighs or trimmed boneless fillets.

Domesticated chicken descends from red junglefowl of South and Southeast Asia, and thigh cuts are staples across global cuisines from yakitori and adobo to cacciatore and tagines.
