20 Chicken Thigh Recipes

Chicken thighs are the lusty, flavor-rich cousin to virtuous chicken breasts. Cheaper than their white meat counterpart, chicken thighs are perfect for fall's slow-cooked stews and braises but can also stand up to the fierce heat of grilling in a way chicken breasts can't. If your recipe calls for boneless thighs, an especially nice grocery store butcher might de-bone it for you. But for skinless chicken thighs, save a few more bucks by removing the skin yourself (it's a cinch). --Sarah McColl, Shine staff
