I think that boneless, skinless chicken thighs may just be the perfect meat. They’re inexpensive; even responsibly-raised meat is only a few dollars a pound. They cook quickly, and they have a melting, tender texture no matter what you do to them. I’ve roasted, grilled, and pan-fried chicken thighs, and they are always quick, easy, and delicious. Here’s one recent recipe for a quick weeknight dinner: Spicy, piquant chicken thighs coated with a mix of miso, ginger, and chili paste.
