Hit me up with your best chicken thigh recipes.

Please

Got some defrosting for tonight's dinner and feeling utterly uninspired.

Tray of roasting vegetables and potatoes. Mix well with plenty of pesto, thighs on top, liberal sprinkling of salt on skin. Oven. Done. If you don't want the potatoes, leave them out and serve the whole lot with couscous instead.

Chicken Chilidron. We just cooking chorizo instead of the ham in this recipe: www.winemag.com/recipe/farm-to-table-easy-chicken-chilindron/

Funnily enough, I've also got chicken thighs out defrosting and I was going to do a tray bake as its a good way of using up slightly over-ripe tomatoes and wrinkly peppers etc.

I like the look of the wine mag recipe and have got everything in except I don't think my Aldi special olive oil qualifies as good olive oil, and of course there's the aforementioned far from farm fresh tomatoes so I'm going to have to make a slightly inadequate version.

Sit them on a bed of peppers and onions and rub them with harissa. Bake for an hour. Yum!

Or sit them on sliced potatoes and shove lemon slices under the skins and bake for an hour. Also yum!!

Or best shove them in a casserole or curry and slow cook them.

Make a cold sauce/marinade of 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1/2 teaspoon chinese five spice, ground black pepper, 1 tablespoon tomato puree, 2 tablespoons runny honey, 2 crushed garlic cloves, mix together, put skinned chicken thighs in slow cooker, cover with sauce, cook on high approx 5 hours, it ends up being really tender, a bit like pulled pork, very rich, lovely with salad and wraps/pitta or on a bed of rice

Super easy n tasty

Lush. Did it last week. It is on the to make again once very 10 days list

Too late noe I'm sure! But we love tray bake with chorizo, potatoes and veg with some feta to garnish. Or Greek style with rice and lemon. Or take the meat off the bones and make a jambalaya.

Lot of the other gousto recipes use chicken thighs as well, this is my favourite !

Too late for your tea now, but for future inspiration, tonight we had them marinated in chopped stem ginger, garlic, soy sauce, lime juice and honey. Served with tenderstem broccoli and rice. Slice into the thighs to get the flavour in and they cook quicker.

This one is really easy - One Pot Chicken. New potatoes, cherry tomatoes, chopped red onions, whole garlic cloves, all in one dish tossed in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Pop in oven, and bake at 180 for half an hour. Stir, then place seasoned, oiled thighs on top, pour on a splash of white wine, and bake for a further 40 minutes. Include any herbs you like too.

I tray bake mine with peppers, courgettes, red onion , garlic and cherry tomatoes and serve with basmati rice.

Tray bake roast dinner - thighs, potatoes, carrots, broccoli, stuffing balls all in one tray. Sage or bay leaves tucked in.

Mayflower sauce from b and m, add peas and carrots and crispy onions near the end, serve with rice, lovely Chinese curry.

I know it's too late...but...bag of baby potatoes, wedged red onion, cloves of garlic and thighs on baking tray. Rub in olive oil season. Grate over orange zest. Add chunkxs of cooking chorizo. Bake. Think it's nigella's Spanish chicken.

Chicken thighs makes the best fried chicken around. Especially if you skin and bone them first.

Skinned/boned chicken thighs - marinate in buttermilk, crushed garlic, smoked paprika & salt and pepper for 4 hours or overnight if you’re organised.

When ready to fry, heat up oil until a piece of bread sizzles and floats.

Mix plain flour, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, a touch of cumin and some lemon zest on a plate.

Dredge chicken thighs in flour, back into buttermilk marinade and then back into flour.

Fry for 10-15 mins until golden. Keep pieces warm in oven whilst you fry the rest.

I either serve in soft rolls with mayo, lettuce and pickles (Popeyes chicken sandwich dupe) or with cornbread, coleslaw and bbq sauce.

I sliced the thighs after taking them out. Chucked them back in with the basil, stirred. Added cooked fusilli, stirred again, and served with green veg. Yummy.

My favourite soup:

Roast the chicken thighs, then strip all the meat off and chop it up.

Fry two large onions in a bit of oil until there's plenty of colour on them. Then add half a pound of chopped chestnut mushrooms and fry for another minute. Add a litre of chicken stock, half a litre of water, two vegetable stock cubes, a large pinch of mixed herbs, two large pinches of pepper and a handful of chopped chives (or spring onions). Add the chopped chicken. I add baby pasta at this point but you don't have to. Mix a tbsp of plain flour with a bit of water and add while stirring. Simmer for about 15 minutes and serve.

Fucking delicious.
