About Thigh chicken
Thigh chicken is a flavorful and tender cut of chicken sourced from the upper leg of the bird. Known for its rich taste and juicy texture, it is a common ingredient in many global cuisines, including American barbecue, Asian stir-fry dishes, Middle Eastern kebabs, and European stews. Packed with protein, thigh chicken supports muscle growth and repair, while also providing essential vitamins and minerals such as B vitamins, phosphorus, and selenium. Compared to white meat, chicken thighs contain slightly more fat, primarily the unsaturated kind that benefits heart health when eaten in moderation. However, skin-on or fried preparations can significantly increase calorie and fat content, making baked, grilled, or skinless versions healthier options. Its versatility and robust flavor make thigh chicken a popular choice in both home-cooked meals and gourmet dishes worldwide.
