Bumping... for new recipes... I buy these all the time.
The only thing I really do with them is bake them with seasoning or throw them in the crockpot with a jar of either salsa verde or regular salsa and black beans for a shredded chicken type thing.0 -
Any suggestion for recipes for chicken thighs ? I normally bake them when a honey and spicy mustard mix and serve with veggies but I would love other ideas.. I have searched the internet and cook books and for some reason nothing seems to be interesting enough. Getting back on the wagon to better health

Baked Chicken and Spinach Flautas
Ingredients
•1 pound boneless, skinless Chicken Thighs (about 4)
•16 ounces Beer (or chicken broth)
•1 cup Mojo Marinade
•1 teaspoon Paprika
•1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
•1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
•1 teaspoon ground Cumin
•1 teaspoon Chili Powder
•1 Jalapeno Pepper, minced
•3 cups Baby Spinach, chopped
•5 burrito-size Flour Tortillas (9 inches)
•6 ounces Queso Quesadilla or other melting cheese, shredded
•1 teaspoon Olive Oil, or cooking spray
•Salsa, for serving
Preparation
1.Preheat the oven to 450*F.
2.Put the chicken thighs in a deep sided saute pan and cover with the beer and marinade. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove the chicken from the liquid and shred it. Mix together the chicken and seasonings.
3.Pour out all but ¼ cup of the cooking liquid. Add the jalapeno and spinach and cook over low heat until for 2-3 minutes, or until the spinach is wilted.
4.Cut the tortillas in half. Spoon 1/10th of the chicken (about 1 tablespoon) along the long edge of a tortilla. Repeat with the spinach and cheese. Roll the tortilla up, starting with the straight edge. Place seam-side down on an oiled baking sheet. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
5.Brush the flautas with olive oil or spray with cooking spray. Bake for 10 minutes, then turn them over and bake for until 10 minutes, or until crispy. Serve with salsa.

Chicken thighs are one of my favorites because they are so easy in the crock pot. I just dissolve two bullion cubes in a bit of water. Throw in chicken thighs with some grill mates seasoning. Add a 1/2 green pepper and 1/2 red pepper for some flavor and cook all day. An hour or so before dinner I add mushrooms to the crock pot as well. I make a steamfresh bag of broccoli and another of brown rice and serve it all mixed together. Definitely a go-to meal at my house.
For a completely different flavor using this same recipe dump a can of cubed pineapple and two cans of coconut milk in the crock pot, amazingly refreshing and flavorful.0 -
In for ideas.
I've always shunned buying thighs and i don't really know why as they seem to be considerably cheaper than chicken breasts.
Do they taste the same? I tried turkey thigh once and it was a horrible texture =/0 -
If they are boneless, I found a recipe a few months ago in a hungery girl book that is fairly low in calories.
You cut the chicken open on one side and make a pocket in the chicken with the surrounding sides still attached. Inside you put a tablespoon refried low fat beans and a wedge of swiss laughing cow cheese low fat of course. Once the chicken is stuffed you dip it in egg and bread it will crushed kelloggs corn flakes. Bake uncovered at 350 until done approx 45 minutes.0 -
I like honey garlic chicken in the crock pot (from the awesome website, The Girl Who Ate Everything):
1T oil
1-1 /12 lb skinless, boneless chicken thighs
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 C low sodium soy sauce
1/2 C ketchup
1/2 C honey
(optional) fresh basil for garnish
Instructions
1.Place the chicken in the bottom of a 4-quart slow cooker. In a small bowl, whisk together the garlic, soy sauce, ketchup and honey. Pour over the chicken and cover.
2.Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or high for 3 to 4 hours. Be sure to check the chicken periodically. My chicken was done after 5 hours on low. Remove chicken, place on a plate and tent with foil to keep warm. Transfer the remaining sauce to a saucepan and reduce down over medium heat until desired consistency is reached. I mixed a teaspoon of cornstarch with a tablespoon of water and added it to the sauce and continued to stir and cook on medium heat until it thickened up a bit. **I was in hurry so I didn't bother thickening the sauce. I just took the chicken out, put it on some rice and poured some of the sauce on top...YUM
3.Serve a little sauce over the chicken and garnish with fresh basil.
4.Serve chicken over rice with some broccoli or green beans on the side.

Calories: 213 • Fat: 4.7 g • Protein: 27.5 g • Carb: 12.7 g • Fiber: 0.4 g
Ingredients:
8 medium chicken drumsticks, skin removed
olive oil spray (I used my Misto)
1 cup water
1 tbsp Sriracha hot sauce (more or less to taste)
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
1/3 cup low sodium soy sauce
1 tbsp honey (or sugar)
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tsp ginger, grated
2 tbsp chives or scallions, chopped
1 tsp sesame seeds
Directions:
In a heavy large saucepan, brown chicken on high for 3-4 minutes with a little spray oil. Add water, balsamic, soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, hot sauce and cook on high until liquid comes to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered for about 20 minutes. Remove cover and bring heat to high, allowing sauce to reduce down, about 8-10 minutes, until it becomes thick, turning chicken occasionally. (Keep an eye on glaze, you don't want it to burn when it start becoming thick) Transfer chicken to a platter and pour sauce on top. Top with chives and sesame seeds and serve0 -
I use chicken thighs to make curries. I also marinade them in a mixture of yogurt and tandoori spices then either grill on a bbq or broil in the oven. When I do the grill/broil method I use the cold leftovers in salads and wraps.0

These all sound GREAT! Thank you all so much. Now to pick one. UGH! I hate making decisions. lol0

Ok..I'm thinking I may go the Asian route with the thighs and serve it over sauteed broccoli slaw. Now to figure out a side dish that would work well with it. Suggestions?0
