About Our Boneless Chicken Thighs
Ask a professional cook which part of the chicken they would rather eat and most will say thigh. It is darker, works harder, and carries more fat running through the muscle, which means more flavour and far more tolerance for imperfect cooking. A thigh left an extra three minutes in the pan is still good. A breast is not.
Boneless thighs give you all of that with none of the fiddling. We bone them out by hand and trim the heavy fat, leaving a flat piece of meat that sears beautifully, cubes cleanly for curries and skewers, and cooks in under ten minutes. They are the right cut for a stir-fry, a biriani, a chicken tikka, or a tray bake where you want everything to caramelise.
Skin on or off is your call - skin on and pressed flat in a hot pan gives you crackling-crisp skin that no breast can match. If you would rather have the bone for flavour and value, take our thighs on the bone, and for the leanest option in this section see our boneless breast.
How to Cook Boneless Chicken Thighs
- Skin on, cook skin-side down in a dry pan and press flat for 6-7 minutes without moving it.
- Cube for curries, skewers and stir-fries - thighs hold together better than breast.
- Thighs are done at 74C but improve up to about 80C as the collagen softens.
- They take a marinade well: yoghurt, lemon and spice for 4 hours is excellent.
- Very good on charcoal, and they will not dry out while you cook the rest of the food.
