ideas for chicken thigh recipes?

[ar]

Hi everyone! I'm new to this comm, and I've got a question. I need to make something for dinner tonight, and I have no idea what--except that I've got six chicken thighs (about 2 pounds) of chicken thighs in my freezer, and I'd really like to try cooking them.

I've never worked with chicken thighs before, only breasts, so I don't even know where to begin. They're not deboned, nor probably deskinned (I can't recall, off the top of my head), and while I can remove the bones and skin, I'd rather not go to all that work today. Does anyone have a reasonably easy (I'm feeling pretty lazy today), flavourful recipe they could recommend? I'd appreciate it so much. ♥

I'd brown them in a deep pan, then make a sort of casserole out of them. I'd probably add a chopped onion, a couple of cloves of minced garlic, a can of tomatoes, some chicken stock, some wine (red or white, I would use either), some chopped mushrooms, some herbs if you've got them (parsley, thyme, oregano, that sort of thing) then simmer on the stovetop for about 30 minutes and call it a sort of chicken chasseur.

I have a bunch of other things I do that start the same way. Like, I could add green olives and preserved lemons and make a moroccan stew. Basically I just like bone-in chicken thighs in stew/casserole dishes.
