Is it possible to cook skinless chicken thighs without them getting dry?

[Blueballoon3]

I normally cook them with the skin on, and the fat in the skin keeps them moist. However, there is then a lot of fat to deal with afterwards. If I bought skinless thighs, put some oil on them, and wrapped them in foil, would they be nice, or really dry?

Thank you for any advice!

I guess it depends how long you cook them for but I’ve always found that as thighs are a fattier cut generally, even the skinless ones remain pretty moist during cooking. Certainly I would imagine that cooking them under foil should do the trick unless you’re cooking them for too long and drying them out.

Soak them in buttermilk before cooking them.

Cook them in a glass oven dish and keep bating them in the juices, no need to wrap in foil.

I normally cook them in a sauce - like curry, or chop them in fahitas and stir fry - they don't go dry in either of those situations.

And add some seasonings, even if you don't like spice, just salt, pepper and maybe mixed herbs.

poach them?
marinade in olive oil & balsamic vinegar and then add a little stock (or white wine) whilst cooking.

I often do them in a one pot meal, so something like chicken, rice and veggies all cooked together and they're delicious.

As long as you don't overcook them they'll be reet

Boneless, skinless chicken thighs can even withstand a bit of over-cooking without going dry like breast does.

I made this Nigella's coq au riesling the other day - really good.

And I do this slow cooker honey mustard chicken a lot too, using boneless, skinless chicken thighs - just put it all in the slow cooker, no need to brown first. I slice onions or add whole shallots instead of the spring onions, they went a bit slimy.

This is another good one too: Rishia Zimmerns Chicken With Shallots (if you can't access it without the subscription, I'll paste it in).

I cook them regularly for DH and DS.
I lay them opened out on top of diced potatoes and roast the whole lot with olive oil, salt, pepper, rosemary and garlic. Takes about 30 mins in a hot oven. They like them with salad and coleslaw.

Thank you so much for the replies - super helpful!

They are higher in fat than chicken breast, never had them go dry.

Nandos peri peri sauce or reggae reggae sauce in a high sided dish and baste them, never been dry!
We sometimes recoat with a layer of sauce and put in the grill pan after for a couple of mins for a charred top and they are fantastic. Just makes more mess though haha
