Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs Best Practices
The key to cooking the perfect chicken thighs is to avoid drying them out in the oven or on the stove. Since our chicken thighs are boneless and skinless, you should be extra careful not to overcook the meat. We often recommend using a brine or marinating your chicken thighs to add flavour and seal in moisture.
