About Chicken, broilers or fryers, thigh, meat only, cooked, fried
Chicken thigh is the cut flavor-first cooks swear by. Darker, richer and more forgiving than breast, it stays juicy even when slightly overcooked, which is why it shines in everything from curries and braises to a quick weeknight roast.
That darker meat comes with a little more fat than breast, and so a few more calories, but it's still a lean, high-protein food — and the harder-working leg muscle actually makes thighs higher in iron and zinc than the breast. They also bring B vitamins, selenium and plenty of flavor.
For most cooking, thighs are the more reliable choice: cheaper, harder to dry out and tastier, with only a modest fat trade-off against the leaner breast.
