Chicken thigh fillets

10 replies

I should know this but I rarely buy chicken pieces. I'm bewildered by the number of chicken thigh options Morrisons offer.

I can buy chicken thighs (skin on, bone in) or chicken thigh fillets, which I can see from the picture have been skinned. But they also offer boneless thigh fillets. Does that mean the other chicken thigh fillets still have the bone in? I wouldn't have thought so, but then why does the boneless option also exist?

Thigh fillets will have the bone in unless it says boneless.
You pay more for skinless/boneless as someone has done the job of removing them for you.

Sorry, I see you said thigh fillets!
Asda ones do say ‘care has been taken to remove bones but some may remain’

So much tastier than breast! Even boneless is cheaper than breast. Fillets usually suggests they have been skinned and boned but check the description.

I use skinless, boneless thighs regularly for curries, pies and the hairy bikers Spanish chicken.

You pay extra for the bone to be taken out in advance.

I prefer to get more for my money - it's not hard to remove it if necessary.

the word fillet means without bones.
I buy thigh skinless thigh fillets, so no skin and no bones

Yes, that's what I thought. So I'm confused why "boneless thigh fillet" is on sale at a quid per kilo more than "thigh fillet"

they put boneless thigh filletbecause most people don't understand that saying fillet means without bones.
I assume that 'thigh fillet' is actually a mistake and it is thighs with bones?
It is more expensive because someone has had to take the bone out.
