Boneless, skinless chicken thighs are cut from the upper portion of the chicken leg and have a tender texture and richer flavor than chicken breasts. As dark meat, chicken thighs contain more naturally occurring fat while still providing a concentrated source of complete protein, along with niacin, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, selenium, phosphorus, zinc, iron, and other nutrients. Their higher fat content helps them remain moist and tender during sautéing, roasting, grilling, braising, and slow cooking, making boneless chicken thighs an especially versatile protein for quick weeknight meals.
