Buyer's guide
The thighs are sold prepared in a variety of ways: whole; on the bone with the skin on; off the bone with the skin on; or boneless and skinless (called thigh fillets). The latter is the most expensive but the most convenient if you're planning to pan-fry strips of thigh in a stir-fry or curry. For stews, roasts and casseroles, thighs are best cooked on the bone as this will impart lots of flavour during cooking and help keep the meat moist.
Storage
Chicken thighs can be frozen for up to 3 months if well-wrapped to keep any air out.
