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. ♥

Date: 2010-05-16 10:47 pm (UTC)I like to grill mine. I first marinate them with ( I never measure so amounts are approximate) 1-2 cans beer, 1-2 cups red wine, few "dashes" low-sodium soy sauce, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 Tbl. sp. tomato paste, & garlic.
Mix this up, add enough water (I usually cook more that just 6 thighs, so you may not need the water) that marinate will cover chicken & marinate for at least an hour before grilling. Cooking time varies depending on what type of grill you use.
Meat comes out brown, flavorful, and with a nice crisp skin.
