Chicken thighs bone-in with skin are a flavorful and versatile cut of poultry enjoyed in cuisines worldwide, from American barbecue to rich curries in Indian and Southeast Asian dishes. This cut includes the tender, juicy thigh meat attached to the bone, with a layer of crispy, golden-brown skin when cooked. Nutritionally, chicken thighs are an excellent source of protein, essential vitamins like B6 and niacin, and minerals such as phosphorus and selenium. The skin adds flavor during cooking but is higher in fat, particularly saturated fat, than skinless options. Removing the skin can reduce the overall fat content if desired. Bone-in chicken thighs are prized for their rich taste and moisture retention, making them ideal for roasting, grilling, or braising. When balanced with vegetables and whole grains, they can be part of a healthy, satisfying meal.
