| | There's a meat market about eight blocks from my apartment that sells a bag of bone-in, skin-on chicken leg quarters for about $6. There are usually five or six legs total. I consider this a STEAL, especially in New York City, which is why these have become a weeknight staple. | | I love a juicy chicken thigh. Sure, it's not the leanest cut of the bird, but so what? It packs great flavor, and its extra fat content can be balanced out with leafy greens and other vegetables. Today's recipe celebrates the thigh and all the wonderful taste it can bring to your plate. | | | | Have a nice weekend!

July 21, 2024 • 2.5 min read | | | |  | | | I can never turn down a chicken thigh | | There are many chicken thigh variations: bone-in, boneless, skin-on, skinless. These features have an impact on the overall nutritional values — and taste — of different pieces. For example, chicken skin adds calories and fat and a richer, greasier flavor. The choice is up to you — personally, I'll typically choose a bone-in, skin-on thigh. Crispy skin is always a must in my home! | | Whatever kind of thigh you decide to cook will go well with the recipe's Brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes, which are bathed in a mixture of maple syrup, rosemary, thyme, and olive oil. Everything comes together seamlessly on a single baking sheet, so the cleanup will be quick and easy!

They're not only good to use on lemons, limes, and oranges for that fragrant citrus taste of the peels — I also use mine at least four times a week to grate garlic and ginger into sauces and marinades. It's a much easier process than having to finely dice the aromatics with my chef knife over and over. | | | | Every product we recommend has gone through either Healthline's or Optum Store's vetting processes.
