About Thighs
Thighs, a cut of chicken or other poultry, are known for their rich flavor and tender, juicy texture. Often used in a variety of global cuisines, from Asian stir-fries to Mediterranean grills, they are prized for their adaptability and depth of taste. Chicken thighs are an excellent source of protein and contain essential nutrients like iron, zinc, and B vitamins. Being a dark meat cut, they have a slightly higher fat content than chicken breast, which contributes to their moistness and flavor. While they do contain some saturated fat, they also provide heart-healthy unsaturated fats. Opt for skinless thighs to reduce calories and fat further, and consider healthier cooking methods like baking, grilling, or steaming. Easy to incorporate into meals, thighs are a versatile and nutritious option for balanced diets when prepared mindfully.
