Boneless and skinless chicken thighs are a versatile protein option commonly used in a variety of cuisines, including American, Asian, and Mediterranean dishes. Known for their tender texture and rich flavor, they are made by removing the bone and skin, making them easier to cook and reducing their fat content compared to skin-on versions. While slightly fattier than chicken breasts, they offer more flavor and moisture, making them ideal for grilling, roasting, or stir-frying. Chicken thighs provide high-quality protein, essential amino acids, and important nutrients like B vitamins, selenium, and zinc. They are relatively low in calories but may contain more saturated fat than other lean meats, so moderation is key for healthier diets. Their adaptability across recipes and cuisines makes them a popular choice for those looking to balance taste and nutrition. Whether marinated, spiced, or cooked plain, they are a satisfying and nutrient-packed staple.
