Boneless skin on 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 skin on, 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.

Prepare or freeze your Butcher Shoppe chicken within five days of receiving them. Additionally, you don’t need to wash raw chicken! This will only spread juices to other surfaces. Instead, wash your hands before handling and use a separate cutting board for your raw chicken protein. Pat your boneless skin on chicken thighs dry, season, then pan-sear for a couple of minutes on both sides.
