    I've been really going to town with cooking chicken thighs skin side down from cold in a heavy pan for the last few weeks, as per below (skip to 5 minutes).

    It's such a good method. Also, deboning and prepping thighs twice a week results in bones and trimmings that I hoy into a bag and keep in the freezer until there's enough to make a stock with. Poifick.

    • @hans, yeah - for me it's the starting from cold and then weighing down that's new to me. I bought my first chicken breast earlier this year for about a decadeNairn

    • Hey Nairn, is chicken breast just protein with no texture, fat, or flavour? you weren't especially clear on that.Continuity

    • @ks - as he goes on about in his video, we have the same problem here in the UK: you can't really get well-trimmed skin-on boneless thighs ...Nairn
    • .. from supermarkets.
      I've been finding the deboning process somewhat meditative. I think I could work in a meat preparation factory. ...      Nairn
