Chicken thighs (with skin and bone)

Description

Chicken thighs with skin and bone are juicy, darker meat with a more pronounced, slightly sweet flavor and a naturally golden skin that becomes crispy when roasted. The bone adds depth of aroma and moisture. They are excellent when baked, braised, grilled, or in one-pot dishes — they pair well with marinades based on citrus, herbs, and spicy seasonings, and complement vegetables, rice, and potatoes. Thighs are a valuable source of protein and B vitamins, iron, selenium, and zinc, which support metabolism and immunity, although they contain more fat than breast meat, especially in the skin. Store them in the refrigerator for 1–2 days raw or 3–4 days after cooking, and in the freezer for several months, tightly wrapped; thaw in the refrigerator and maintain hygiene precautions to avoid cross-contamination.
