Key characteristics for chicken thighs are:

• Dark Meat - Chicken thighs come from the upper part of the chicken leg, specifically the thigh area. They are a type of dark meat, which is known for its richer flavour and higher fat content compared to white meat.
• Tender and Juicy - The higher fat content in chicken thighs keeps them moist and tender during cooking, making them less prone to drying out compared to chicken breasts.
• Versatility: Chicken thighs can be cooked using various methods, including grilling, baking, sautéing, braising, and slow cooking. They are perfect for a wide range of dishes, from simple weeknight dinners to elaborate recipes.

Cooking tips- Marinate/ season your chicken thighs and allow at least 30 minutes for the flavours to penetrate the skin. However you cook your chicken thighs ensure they reach an internal temperature of 74°C.  Place chicken thighs in a slow cooker with your favorite vegetables and seasonings for a hands-off, tender, and flavourful meal or braise them  in a flavourful liquid such as broth, wine, or a sauce until they are tender and falling off the bone.

Pairing suggestions -  Chicken thighs are versatile and pair wonderfully with a variety of sides, sauces, and beverages. Here are some delicious pairing suggestions:

• Mashed Potatoes: Creamy mashed potatoes with a hint of garlic and butter.
• Steamed Asparagus: Lightly steamed asparagus with a squeeze of lemon juice.
• Garlic Alfredo: A rich and creamy garlic Alfredo sauce.
• White Wine: A crisp Sauvignon Blanc or a rich Chardonnay.
• Iced Tea: Sweet or unsweetened iced tea with a slice of lemon.
