I was going to marinate them and grill...but any other ideas?

they are great in curries and similar, as breast gets tough when overcooked, while thighs get only softer.

I only use thighs for curries etc as the PP says, they remain tender

I use them for nearly everything others choose breast for, I actually prefer thighs to breast, only using breasts for goujons and schnitzels

Pierce the thighs, rub in garlic, lemon juice, salt pepper and paprika, marinade for a couple of hours. Oven bake.

Brown the thighs, add a shallot or two and soften, stir in a mug of wild rice, add two mugs of marigold, cover and cook for about an hour in the oven. Add a tin of kidney beans and a tin of stoned green olives and heat through.

Brown the thighs, add a shallot or two and soften, add two heaped teaspoons of curry powder, salt and pepper , the juice of a lemon, add a little chicken stock (a scant mug), simmer for 45 minutes. Reduce the liquid, add a bag of spinach leaves and stir through some Creme fraiche.

Brown the thighs, add a shallot or two and soften, add garlic, half a mug of chicken stock and a glass of wine. Simmer for 45 mins, reduce the liquid, add sliced mushrooms, some Creme fraiche or some cream and bung in a handful of strong cheddar.

Thighs, shallots, garlic, red wine, black olives tin of tomatoes, tbs of puree.

You can of course use onion instead of shallot.

Thighs, shallots, garlic, chicken stock, glass of wine, mushrooms, some pancetta or left over ham, bit of chopped parsley, thicken the sauce with some cornflour. Bung in a dish and cover with shop bought puff pastry

They work well cooked in stews/casseroles/curries.

I have also unrolled them, covered the inside with cream cheese and flavourings, rolled them up and then covered in bacon/parma ham before cooking in airfryer. I do this with breasts too. Breasts tend to come out neater, but I do like the juiciness of the thigh as an an option.

You’ve had loads of good suggestions but just adding another one, mainly so this thread will appear on ‘threads I’m on’ and I can come back to it next time I’m stuck for inspiration.

Made slow cooker satay chicken recently - I got the recipe from Instagram and can’t find the exact one now but it was similar to this except it used sweet chilli sauce instead of honey, so guess it depends which version you like the sound of better - https://www.tamingtwins.com/slow-cooker-chicken-satay/

A tagine is coming across favourite at moment so I can chuck in oven and leave it. But will be coming back to these....

I love them diced up in curries, whole roasted over diced tomatoes/peppers with some Piri piri seasoning, rolled around some goat cheese and thyme (where the bone used to be) before roasting etc.

dementedpixie · 13/03/2024 13:43

We marinade in peri peri sauce and then bake them on top of roasted vegetables in a large baking tray

Hairy bikers has a Spanish chicken recipe that is nice too

TeenTraumaTrials · 13/03/2024 14:08

Pretty much anything you could also use breasts for. I find thighs have much more flavour and are less likely to get dry in any dish. Don't remember the last time I bought chicken breasts. I have actually now moved onto pretty much universal use of drum fillets as they are even cheaper than thigh and less fatty.

Cuwins · 13/03/2024 18:50

I only like them in the slow cooker personally. So curries or casserole normally
