Chicken Thigh Guide

The chicken thigh is the dark meat from the upper part of the leg of a chicken, and is one of the most common parts of the chicken used in cooking. Chicken thighs are often sold skin-on and bone-in. The average 4 oz serving of chicken thigh has about 212 calories, 27 grams of protein, and only 4 grams of fat. Chicken thighs are commonly used in dishes such as fried chicke and, barbecued chicken, and should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F.
