Roast thigh is a dish featuring the succulent, flavorful meat from the upper leg of poultry, typically chicken or turkey. This cut is known for its rich, tender texture thanks to a natural blend of muscle and fat. Often a staple in global cuisines, roast thigh pairs perfectly with spices and marinades, ranging from Mediterranean herbs to Asian-style soy and ginger. Nutritionally, roast thigh is a source of high-quality protein, essential for muscle repair and overall health. However, the fat content is higher compared to leaner cuts like breast meat, particularly if the skin is left on, making it less ideal for low-fat diets. Vitamins such as B6 and niacin provide added health benefits. For a balanced option, lean preparation methods like roasting without added oil or removing the skin can help reduce fat while maintaining the robust flavors that make roast thigh a favorite.
