Cuisses de Poulet, translating to “chicken thighs” in French, are a popular dish in French cuisine, celebrated for their rich flavor and versatility. Typically prepared roasted, grilled, or braised, these tender cuts retain juiciness due to their higher fat content, which provides deep flavor but also makes them more caloric compared to leaner meat like chicken breast. Rich in protein, chicken thighs are a good source of vitamins like B6 and minerals such as zinc and phosphorus, supporting muscle health and immune function. However, skin-on varieties add saturated fat, making skinless thighs a healthier option for those watching their fat intake. Often seasoned with herbs like thyme, garlic, and rosemary, or paired with wine-based sauces, this dish reflects the balanced and indulgent nature of French cooking. Whether served with vegetables, grains, or potatoes, Cuisses de Poulet is both a satisfying and nutrient-rich centerpiece for any meal.
