Why Boneless Chicken Thighs are a good choice
Boneless chicken thighs have a much richer and intense flavour than chicken breasts, making them the perfect choice for spicy and flavourful Asian dishes. They also have a tender and juicy texture, which pairs well with the sweet and sour taste of Asian sauces, seasonings and sides such as naan bread.
