Chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on, offer a flavorful and juicy cut of poultry that is popular across many global cuisines, including American, Asian, Mediterranean, and South American dishes. Rich in protein, they provide essential nutrients like B vitamins, iron, and zinc. The skin, while deliciously crispy when cooked, contains additional fat, including saturated fat, which should be consumed in moderation. These thighs are an excellent source of energy and contribute to muscle maintenance and repair, but trimming the skin can reduce calorie and fat content for a leaner option. They are highly versatile, ideal for grilling, roasting, braising, or slow cooking, and their higher fat content adds to their moisture and rich flavor. Whether used in hearty stews or marinated and baked, chicken thighs offer a nutritious and satisfying protein option when incorporated thoughtfully into a balanced diet.
