THE MEAT GUIDE

Chicken Thighs

─ Sobrecoxa

JUICER THAN CHICKEN BREAST

As a chicken cut, thighs have plenty of flavour and work perfectly when roasted over coals. Chicken Thighs are the rich upper part of chicken leg quarters, just above the part of the leg called the drumstick.

It’s a meat just dark enough to stay tender, but not so dark as to put off people who prefer white chicken meat. Chicken thighs contain more fat and collagen than breasts, producing a more succulent mouth feel when you bite into them, especially when braised.
