If you’ve seen videos of me cooking chicken, you’ll know I’m totally a legs and thighs kind of a gal. They’re not as “neat” as the breast cut, but with their slightly messier shapes, legs and thighs offer me something more important…flavour and juiciness.
I will concede that chicken breast has its place, particularly when I’m cooking chicken parmigiana or Japanese katsu for example. But when it comes to braising, stir-frying or roasting…I’m typically choosing thigh fillets or maryland cuts (for the oven). And for family dinners, chicken thighs and drums are really affordable, so you can cook something amazing and not break the bank.

I’ve also shared my go to chicken recipes, that serve up homemade goodness and these ones are just so easy to make.
- Super Crispy Chicken Fried Rice Bowl, a comforting bowl of fried rice, full of satisfying flavours.
- Red Curry Chicken Rice Traybake, so simple but totally delicious, this dish is perfect for those busy weeknights.
- Sticky 5-Spice Roast Chicken, this sticky roast chicken is the perfect blend of sweet and savoury.
What I’m loving this week
- I have this easy, one-pan Chinese Soy Sauce Chicken on constant cook, eat, repeat.
- Want crispy skin chicken? There are multiple pans in this bundle from MAKO that will give you the perfect sear. I recommend ALL of them.
- This Endota Face Oil has been such a dream in the cooler months. I’m happily going to bed looking like a glazed doughnut each night and waking up with a lovely glow.
