I buy them with bones and cook them in the slow cooker, pick the meat and skin and manky bits off the bones and then freeze in batches to use in curry, casseroles, etc

I use them for Jimbalaya ... a recipe off Delia Smiths website ... can highly recommend.

I prefer chicken thighs to breast , they're more succulent and have more flavour IMO.They sell them boneless in Sainsbury's, Tescos and Asda, I just substitue them for chicken breast in any recipe (OH likes breastmeat though so I use a mixture of the two). My local butcher will bone thighs for me too. Looking forward to a chcken curry on Sat night so need to stock up on chicken this week.

i have 8 skinless, boneless chicken thighs that must be eaten today and my mind has gone totally blank as to what to do with them

i am trying to eat healthy so nothing with any (lovely) cream sauces and we seem to have lived on marinated chicken in wraps and pitas all summer.

i have a good storecupboard and old potatoes and some asparagus that i could do with using. i also have frozen roasted mediteranien veg.

there must be somthing really yummy i can make.

thanks,

Hi vixtress,

A low fat way of eating them is to marinade them in the fridge with a little white wine, garlic, chilli and finely sliced onion. Then wrap the thighs and marinade in foil and cook in the oven. Serve with crunchy salad and a baked potato.

There are lots more lovely ideas on this thread that should help:

I'll add your thread to that one later to keep the suggestions together.

Dice and baste with honey and mustard, thread onto skewers with pepper and red onion and cook! Kids love these with salad.

Put a slice of mozzarella on each and wrap with bacon, bake and serve with bbq sauce and potato wedges and veg or salad - another of my kids' favourites!
