What it is

Boneless chicken thigh is meat from the thigh of a chicken, with the bone and skin removed. It is a darker meat than chicken breast, known for its juicier texture and richer flavor due to higher fat content. It is a common source of protein in many cuisines.

Why it's used

Chicken thighs are used as a primary protein source in a wide variety of dishes, from stir-fries and curries to grilled entrees and stews. Their higher fat content makes them more forgiving during cooking, staying moist even when cooked at higher temperatures. They are often seasoned and cooked whole, or cut into pieces for various recipes.

Health notes

Chicken is a source of protein and various nutrients. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) provides guidelines for safe handling and cooking of poultry. Regulatory bodies like the FDA oversee food safety and labeling. JECFA has evaluated chicken as a food ingredient. No significant health controversies are associated with typical consumption of properly prepared chicken.

Allergen info

Chicken is not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
