Рецепт Chicken Thighs in White Wine and Balsamic Vinegar; Weekly Menu
I never cook chicken thighs.
I have nothing against them.
Back in the beginning of time, when I first started fixing chicken breasts, they were not 'boneless and skinless'. I had to do that bit myself with a sharp knife.
Chicken thighs are not boneless and skinless - at least not here, and, to be honest, I just didn't feel like getting out my skinning knife again.
I finally saw the error of my ways.
I decided to compromise. I would skin them (easy) but not bother to bone them.
Mon mari was please.
Frankly, so was I.
For the record, unlike some people who shall remain nameless, I do eat the skin of all poultry, but only when it's crispy from being roasted or grilled.
I can't abide it if it's limp from being cooked in a sauce or braised.
Also, for the record, I know that the crispy chicken skin, that has been basted in butter, oil and salt is bad for my health in oh so many ways.
I don't care. Keep your hands off; it's mine.
