I didn't care much for this style of chicken at first because they seemed to have a lot of 'yuck' on them that I felt the need to remove. However, the ones I buy in Costco now don't require any extra work - I use them as is.
I think the thighs have much more flavor than breasts. True, they have more fat but as a commenter pointed out recently, they have more iron and other nutrients too. And, although dark meat has more saturated fat than white meat, two-thirds of its fat is healthy polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fat. It's not the evil option that many think it is. I still cook with white meat of course, but the dark meat is a nice change of pace.
I'm also discovered that chicken thighs are so much better than breasts in a slow cooker. They don't dry out in a crockpot like breasts tend to do.

I bought the boneless skinless thighs at Costco a while ago but they had lots of "stuff" that I had to remove. I looked at them again last week but couldn't get past the "stuff" I remembered. I think I'll try them again since you said they were better now. Thanks for the info. I used to make stuffed thighs that I had to debone myself--wish I could find that recipe again. All these recipes you posted look so good. Thanks!!
I really like your square bowl/plates.
Chicken thighs are a favorite of mine and I have several recipes for boneless/skinless. I'll have to add these.
Bookmarking this post, what a great roundup of all your chicken thigh recipes.
You know I usually skip over thigh recipes, maybe I will have to look into them more. Now I know where to go for recipes :)
Try this: Once you have cooked them (grilled or sauteed...seasoned with garlic, salt, pepper and a dash of chili powder) stuff them with monterey jack (or pepper jack) mixed with green chilies (or salsa). Awesome in any of these combinations!
It really looks delicious, I'm more of a cow, pork eater, but chicken also can do the job, specially boneless and well prepare.
I love to cook and I love chicken!!would U please re-post the recipe for Vietnames Chicken with Broccolini? I would really appreciate it...thanks!
Big Shoog,
I corrected the broken link. I hope you enjoy that recipe - I didn't LOL! It was the fish sauce which I now know that I don't like, not the recipe. I wouldn't have added it to this list if I thought it was a bad recipe.
lol to comprar viagra---plus great recipes ----im good on chick/thighs for an ez meal weekly---yours look great :)
Regarding Sheila's comment about Costco's chicken thighs. They sell 2 kinds. One package in the Orlando area is a lot less expensive than the other, because of the amount of fat that must be cut off of them. The more expensive package has a lot less fat, so you are paying almost a $1.00 more a pound for them. Although the more expensive ones still need to be cleaned.
