Broiled chicken thighs are a flavorful, protein-rich dish commonly found in many cuisines, from American to Mediterranean. This preparation involves cooking chicken thighs under high, direct heat, which keeps the meat tender and juicy while giving it a beautifully crisp exterior. Often seasoned with a blend of herbs and spices, broiled chicken thighs can be tailored to suit various flavor profiles. They are an excellent source of high-quality protein, essential for muscle repair and overall health. Skinless thighs are lower in calories and fat, making them a healthier option, while the skin-on variety provides added richness but may contain more saturated fat. Compared to fried alternatives, broiling is a healthier cooking method as it requires minimal or no added oils. Pairing broiled chicken thighs with steamed vegetables or whole grains can create a well-balanced and nutrient-dense meal.
