Chicken thigh with no skin or fat is a lean yet flavorful source of protein, often used in a wide variety of global cuisines, from Asian stir-fries to Mediterranean grills. Without the skin and visible fat, it has reduced saturated fat content, making it a healthier option compared to its fattier counterpart. Rich in essential nutrients, it offers high-quality protein that supports muscle repair and immune health, along with key vitamins and minerals like B vitamins, phosphorus, and selenium. Its naturally tender texture makes it versatile for roasting, grilling, or braising, delivering a satisfying taste with fewer calories than fattier cuts. While lower in fat than whole chicken thighs, it retains more moisture and flavor than chicken breast, offering a balanced mix of nutrition and taste. However, individuals monitoring cholesterol intake should consume it in moderation, as it contains dietary cholesterol.
