About Our Chicken Thighs on Bone
Bone-in thigh is the most reliable piece of chicken you can put on a grill or in a pot. The bone keeps the meat from tightening up, the skin protects it from the heat, and the dark muscle carries enough fat to stay juicy through a long cook. It is the cut restaurants use when the chicken has to hold in a warm pot for an hour and still be good.
For charcoal, it is close to ideal: start skin-side up over indirect heat until nearly cooked, then flip and crisp the skin over the coals. For a stew, brown the pieces first, then let them simmer in the sauce; the bones will thicken and deepen it as they go. Either way you have a large margin for error.
We sell thighs on the bone from the same birds as our boneless thighs, so the eating is identical and the price per kilo is lower. Choose bone-in for flavour and value, boneless for speed and convenience. Also worth pairing with drumsticks for a mixed grill.
How to Cook Chicken Thighs on Bone
- Charcoal: skin-side up over indirect heat for 20 minutes, then flip to crisp the skin.
- Oven: 200C skin-side up for 35-40 minutes with no need to turn.
- For stews, brown first, then simmer 30-40 minutes in the sauce.
- Slash the thickest part to the bone before marinating so the flavour gets inside.
- The bones make better stock than breast bones - keep them.
