About Chicken thighs

Chicken thighs are the upper-leg portions of a chicken, usually sold as bone-in pieces, though boneless forms are also common. The meat is darker and more savoury than breast meat, and may be sold with skin or with the skin removed.

Thighs are used in roasting, grilling, braising, and other cooked preparations. Their shape and meat-to-bone proportion vary; fresh and frozen forms are available. The plural name does not establish whether the portions are trimmed, deboned, or skinless.
