Chicken Thighs

LittleVoice

Just looked out the leaflet that came with my electric steamer.

It suggests 25 minutes for cooking 4 chicken drumsticks and to grill to brown if one wants. That's the closest (says 12-15 minutes for chicken breasts (skins removed)). Doesn't seem very long to me so I think I would give thighs 30 minutes. I'll have to try it soon.

I cook 2 chicken breasts without skin for 20 mins. Perfect every time.

Thanks, shopndrop, 20 mins for chicken breasts sounds much more like it than 12-15.

Do you brown it first?

I've never steamed chicken breast / thighs before - it's either been in the oven or slowcooker. Does the chicken have a different taste to it when it's been steamed? I might give it a go, but like the OP I would have been worried about how long to cook it for.

how about kentucky fried thighs....simmer the thighs in milk or water till cooked drain n dry then dip in beaten egg, dip in seasoned flour (i use cajun or chilli/garlic powder) back in the egg then back in the flour and then fry untill golden brown and scrummy then scoff worry about the waistline another day :rotfl:

They're very nice used in a curry or braised with onion, mushrooms, bacon and red wine - sort of coq au vin
