Anyone got nice recipes for chicken thighs please?

[winestein]

All ideas welcome. My mind has gone totally blank and I don't just want end up roasting them plain.

Ta

what sort of thing are you likely to fancy? something with a tasty coating of garlic and chopped up herbs and rolled in egg and breadcrumbs (good for DC to pick up), or a casserole thing where you shove the chicken with a load of veg in a big dish and stick it in the oven for an hour ...or two if you want? We do this casserole thing a lot on 'work' days, so that we can put oven on when we get in after work and school, leave it a bit, cook a pan of rice and then tuck in - no effort

Probably more of a casserole thing served with rice - it's that kind of weather!

So - skin the thighs and shove it in a pot with veg and stock and lentils or something? Would that work?

i skin them and trim the fat off and then cover with natural yogurt mixed eiyther with garlic and herbs an d mustard or yorurt mixed with curry paste or spices and backe in the oven with red pepper and mushrooms and serve with salad

I do legs and thighs with honey, lemon, garlic etc.

Can find if interested but you have to be quick as about to go out to send a Mnetter a parcel.

4 large potatoes, peeled and halved
1 lemon, quartered BUY 2 SAVE £1
1 pack fresh rosemary
Large pinch of Crushed Chillies
large glass of white wine
8 Chicken Thighs

Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the potatoes in the roasting tin and tuck the lemon pieces in between.
Place the rosemary sprigs between the potatoes, then season. Sprinkle with the chillies and pour the wine over the top.
Arrange the chicken thighs, skin-side up, on top of the potatoes. Cook for 45 minutes.

ooh i shall be trying zippi's ideas too
the casserole thingy - yep you got the idea
exactly what we do.verrrry tasty i must add.

Yes please Nab!

That does sound lovely Zippi. Will try another day though as am freezing and am baulking at the idea of salad!

3 large pork sausages
25g black olives, stoned and finely chopped
grated zest of 1 lemon, finely grated
1 tbsp Thyme, finely chopped
1 tbsp Sage, finely chopped
8 Chicken thighs, skinned and boned
25g Parmesan cheese, coarsely grated
For the sauce
2 tbsp dark soy sauce
1 small tbsp of Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp clear honey
2 tsp grain mustard
canned chopped tomatoes

Method

1. Set the oven to 190°C. To prepare the stuffing slit each sausage skin lengthways and remove the meat. Put into a bowl, adding the olives, lemon zest, thyme, sage, salt and pepper, and mix well.

1. Unfold and lay out the chicken thighs, smooth side down, season and fill with a tablespoon of sausage meat stuffing.

1. Bring each edge of the chicken towards the middle, over the stuffing and arrange in an ovenproof dish, join side down. Season all over.

1. Blend together the sauce ingredients in a bowl and pour over the thighs, ensuring all are covered and then sprinkle with the Parmesan.

1. Bake for about 30-40 minutes

Now my mouth is watering. I'm going to have to go and buy some more thighs to try CoV's recipe.
I have just remembered about Marsladys peanut chicken recipe too

I'm doing Chicken Chasseur with my chicken thighs tomorrow

Lemon and garlic chicken
Serves 4
Ready in 1 hour 30 mins
2 unwaxed lemons
2tbsp clear honey
2tbsp sunolive oil
1 tsp fresh root ginger, grated
4 chicken breasts with skin on or chicken legs
thyme
head of garlic

Preheat oven to 190C/170C fan/ Gas5. Cut lemons into quarters and squeeze the juice into a bowl. Mix with the honey, oil and ginger, then put in an ovenproof dish - it should be large enough to hold the chicken portions in a single layer with a small gap between them.

Put the chicken in the dish and turn thr pieces over so that they are completely covered in the marinade. tuck in the lemon wedges and thyme sprigs between them. Leave for about 30 mins, turn over.

Cut the garlic head in half horizontally and put in the dish. Cook in the oven for 35 mins for breast and 45 mins for legs, basting occasionally with the uices.

enjoy!

no time to proof read so guess what I mean with any spoelling mistakes!

What is chicken chasseur? It's not something I have ever had, or taken any notice of! What's in it?

Just remembered I used to bone out thighs and stuff with goats cheese and cook in a mushroom sauce but I haven't got any goats cheese. I will have to try the sausage stuffed ones soon... I'm regretting asking as I am seriously drooling here.

I skin them and rub them in a marinade. My latest favourite is a spicey chiken wing/spare rib sauce.I rub it all over with a tiny drop of oil.

If you have some soy sauce,oyster sauce, honey, chilli and garlic that probably tastes the same as the shop bought stuff I use.
I roast in the oven with foil (as the juice doesn't dry up) and right at the end of cooking time fry up spring onions and mushroom with the chicken thighs in the wok.
You can chuck in some noodles or eat with rice.

Oh that sounds lovely too Nab.

Decisions, decisions....

Oooh. Stop! Stop! I can't take it any more! That sounds lovely Pellmell.

These are all brilliant suggestions - thanks a lot guys - I am well and truly inspired

Chicken Chasseur - it's easy and yummy

winestein - life's too short for boning and stuffin' goats

Was also planning chicken thighs so am v inspired.
Dd 5 v excited "cus then we all get a leg if we want mum and chickens don't have 4 legs why don't they mum?"

actually she said 5 legs

I bake them with onion, root vegetables, a bit of Chorizo, olive oil and lemon juice, and some thyme or rosemary if I have any. You need to turn them a few times so they and the vegetables go all golden and caramelised. And you need plenty of black pepper.

Ha - you might be right there finknottle!

So chasseur is similar to coq au vin but with white wine. Hmmmm. I have mushrooms...

Right. That's it. I'm not reading any more. I'm just confusing myself.

Arghhh. It's hailing the size of marbles and I have to pick up DS

But that sounds so nice Jenny... and I have some chorizo

Ok. Can someone decide what I'm having and pop round and cook it please?

luvvvvvvvverly
I am printing this thread off
chicken thighs are definately much tastier than breast.

should we write the "I've got chicken thighs cookbook"??

Please see my yummy Chicken Cacciatore recipe.
