Chicken thigh is a flavorful and tender cut of dark meat often used in global cuisines such as American barbecue, Asian stir-fries, Indian curries, and Mediterranean dishes. It is rich in protein, providing essential amino acids that support muscle repair and overall body function. Chicken thighs also contain important nutrients like B vitamins, iron, phosphorus, and zinc, which contribute to energy, immunity, and bone health. While slightly higher in fat and calories compared to chicken breast, the fat content includes heart-healthy monounsaturated fats. The skin adds extra richness but increases saturated fat and cholesterol; removing the skin can make this cut leaner and healthier. Chicken thigh is versatile and stays moist when grilled, baked, or sautéed, making it a popular choice for both everyday meals and festive occasions.
