If you had defrosted chicken thighs, what would you make?

[jgb]

I just realized that the chicken I bought and then defrosted this morning are chicken thighs with the skin and bone in them.  I usually buy skinless and boneless thighs, so now I'm at a loss on what to make. Any suggestions?

Throw them on the grill and BBQ those suckers.

I'd bake them for half an hour at 350, having basted them once or twice while baking with a butter and herb mixture.

Maybe a little rice on the side, with a salad. MMMMMM

Can you tell me more about this butter and herb mixture?  Specifics please!  Talk to me like I'm 14.

This is the absolute best chicken thigh recipe. Really.


Lemon Cinnamon Chicken

10 Pieces Chicken (Legs and Quarters work best)
1/2 C Olive Oil
1/2 C Fresh-Squeezed Lemon Juice
2 tsp Salt
1 tsp Pepper
2-3 tsp Oregano
1 1/2 tsp Cinnamon

Put all ingredients except chicken into a large baking dish and mix well, making a marinade. Once mixed completely, begin adding the chicken one piece at a time, coating each piece completely in the marinade.

Bake, uncovered at 425 for approx 1 hr or until chicken is no longer pink in center. Several times during baking, baste the chicken with the marinade in the pan.

Goes well with rice, green veggie.

Ooo I used to have a good recipe for chicken thighs. I had to go back on TN to find an old post about it. Anyway, really easy and good. I would take the skin off, but this is actually better w/ bone-in thighs, IMO. I need to make it again.

****

Season chicken thighs on both sides with lemon pepper seasoning and salt, if not in the LP seasoning. I prefer skinless thighs with the bone still in.

Heat some olive oil in a skillet.

Mince a couple of cloves of garlic and slice up a few green onions. Add to olive oil. Allow to soften.

Add thighs and brown for a couple of minutes on each side, then pour in white wine to cover the bottom of the skillet about 1/8 to 1/4 inch. Deglaze pan. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 40 minutes.

While it's cooking, also cook some brown rice. Have a glass of the wine and chill.

At the last minute, steam your favorite veggie. I like the Bird's Eye steam in bag veggies.

****

ETA: that was a C&P. I no longer buy Bird's Eye brand b/c they don't carry it at my hippie store. I am compulsively honest, so I had to add that disclaimer.

Yum!  I don't have green onions but i do have frozen chopped onion.  Maybe I'll throw in a handful of those.

I love skin in bone in thighs baked.

Rub something tasty all over them, and under the skin. Bake (preferably on a wire rack) at 425 for 50 mins.
