If we’re talking winner-winner chicken dinner – these Chicken thigh recipes are the jackpot!
If we’re talking chicken for dinner, in our house we prefer thighs over breast. Preferably, bone-in and skin-on. Below you’ll find a few of our favorite chicken thigh recipes that are the perfect addition to you mealtime rotation!
About 5 years ago, my husband Jared and I ate a LOT of chicken breast. Almost every single day for lunch we had baked chicken breast with veggies and sweet potato. Sure, it was healthy but it was honestly pretty darn boring!
We were on a pretty tight budget saving for a house so I started buying packs of chicken thighs because they were cheaper. And I came up with this roasted chicken thigh recipe. Our love for chicken thighs began right then and there. I published the recipe not long after and remains one of the most popular on my blog today!
