This is an easy recipe. I used to do it with whole chickens, but I realized my kids and husband would attack the thighs and leave the breast to me. Nobody wants the white meat in our house.
Chicken thighs, contrary to what you may have been led to believe, are healthy (remove the skin if you must). According to Women’s Health Magazine, dark-meat poultry like chicken thighs are rich in iron, zinc and B vitamins, while having lower fat content than red meat (such as beef).
Chicken thigh meat is juicier and doesn’t dry up the way white meat does after it has cooled. So it’s ideal for school (or office) lunch too. I’d marinate the chicken at night, throw them into the oven the following morning. And, voila! A superb school lunch that your kids will be proud to share with the class.
