4. Sear the chicken thighs until browned and cooked through.

5. Caramelised sliced red onions in the same pan.

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.
