Chicken thighs are a succulent and versatile cut taken from the upper part of the chicken leg. Their slightly higher fat content allows them to remain moist during both high-heat and slow cooking.
The bone helps protect the meat during cooking and makes this cut particularly well suited to roasting, braising, curries and stews.
More Info
Our chicken on the bone is ordered fresh daily. Please place your order at least 24 hours in advance. Availability remains subject to confirmation.
Bone-in thighs generally require more cooking time than deboned thighs, but the bone helps the meat retain moisture and contributes additional depth to slow-cooked dishes.
Cooking Tips
- Roasting: Season with salt, pepper, garlic and herbs, then roast until golden and completely cooked through.
- Grilling or braaiing: Cook over medium heat, turning regularly. Avoid excessively high heat, which can colour the outside before the meat beside the bone is cooked.
- Curries and stews: Bone-in thighs remain succulent during longer cooking and work particularly well in sauces and braises.
- Marinating: Chicken thighs pair well with lemon, garlic, paprika, chilli, cumin, herbs and yoghurt-based marinades.
- Serving suggestion: Serve with roasted potatoes, rice, couscous, salad or seasonal vegetables.
Chicken must be thoroughly cooked. Check the thickest part beside the bone and ensure the meat is piping hot with no raw or pink areas remaining.
Storage
Keep refrigerated and use by the date shown on the packaging.
