Bone in chicken thighs

A "bone-in chicken thigh" refers to a cut of chicken meat from the upper leg of the bird, where the thigh bone is still intact, meaning you'll be cooking and eating the meat with the bone inside, usually sold with the skin still on as well; considered a dark meat cut, known for its juiciness and flavor compared to leaner white meat like chicken breast. Key points about bone-in chicken thighs:

• Cut: The upper part of the chicken leg, including the femur (thigh bone). 
• Meat type: Dark meat, with a higher fat content than white meat, leading to richer flavor and tenderness. 
• Bone structure: Contains one main bone, the femur. 
• Skin: Usually sold with the skin attached, which adds flavor and helps keep the meat moist during cooking. 
• Cooking methods: Well-suited for roasting, grilling, frying, or braising due to the high fat content.
