Tips To Cooking With Chicken Thighs
Here are a few tips to keep in mind after selecting your recipe and before you get started cooking:
- Check if the recipe calls for boneless chicken thighs or bone-in as this will alter the total cooking time – boneless thighs cook quicker.
- If aiming for crispy chicken thighs, opt for thighs with the skin on
- Boneless skinless chicken thighs will dry out quicker than skin on, bone-in thighs
- The internal temperature of chicken thighs needs to reach 165F before consuming. When temping, insert the meat thermometer into the thickness part of the thigh.
- For juicy chicken, let rest for about 5 minutes before cutting into the thigh.
