Chicken Thighs

Kimberley

I have taken some Chicken thighs out of my freezer but i'm stuck as what to do with them any ideas? I've tried looking back in threads but i got to page 6 and gave up :rolleyes:

Pal

Any casserole that asks for chicken will work.

Cover them in salt, pepper and bit of lemon and roast them - eat hot or cold with salad? Or eat cold in sandwiches?

If you think you have a challenge on your hands, I have a freezer full of chicken giblets to try and use next week!

Roast chicken dinner
Spicy chicken (make a marinade from a bit of olive oil, chilli powder, paprika brushed over chicken and left in the fridge for about an hour, then cook as normal)
Chicken rissotto Pre-cook the chicken then follow Jamies recipe and add the chicken and some frozen peas at the end of stage 3
Chicken soup

Chicken and brocolli in cream and white wine sauce (I'd recomend this one, it's gorgeous and doesn't take long to make, just chop the chicken off the bone)
Chicken roasted on a bed of cherry toms, garlic, oil etc.
Loads of ideas HERE
Chicken pie/ crumble

Make a slit in each thigh and stuff it with whatever you've got (cheese, herbs, garlic and some butter, etc) wrap a slice of streaky bacon around each thigh, secure with a cocktail stick and bung in the oven at 200 (don't know the gas mark, about 7?) for 1/2 hour - 1 hour depending on how many thighs you've got (the chicken thighs!).

Put it in a casserole dish or slow cooker and pour whatever you've got in the cupboard over it i.e a tin of condensed soup and add some chopped up veg according to the soup so mushroom soup add mushrooms, tom soup add broccoli or courgettes or just some frozen mixed veg, a tin of toms with some herbs, whatever you think will go together.

Sorry Pal, can't help with the giblets

That Chicken and Brocolli in cream sounds nice, but it doesn't say how much cream to use..

Pal

As much as you like. Add until you like what you taste.

Re giblets: The livers are going to become a pate at some point. The hearts will be sliced sauted and served on a salad. I dunno about the necks, but they will probably end up in stock or a cassorole after Pal Junior has chased his mum around the house with them for a while.

Kids! Chicken necks are great for convincing your granny that you have had a nasty accident!

Kimberley

Er what cream? Is it dairy cream?

Kimberley

Right ok i guess it's double cream i need..well i'll cook it tonight and let you know how it went..:)

Galtizz

Use whatever cream you've got. I usually use 1/2 - 3/4 of a big tub of Elmlea type stuff you can you either double or single.

I haven't tried it with soya cream or other non- dairy but I'm sure it would work with them too.

Good luck, let us know how you get on.

Kimberley

I'll have to buy the cream, but i guess i can keep the left over for a next time..thanks for the recipe, i've printed it off..i hope it's ok to give the kids it with the white wine in?

I'll pop back later with an update

The alcohol content evaporates with cooking - so you are fine!

Anyway, kids over the age of 5 are allowed to drink at home.

My 9 yr old and 7 yrs old like a glass or two of the red stuff.
