The best chicken thigh recipe my Hungarian friends taught me. Now I cook only this way!

chicken thighs

🥗Healthier: skinless chicken thighs

💰Cheaper: chicken drumsticks

Skinless reduces fat; drumsticks are often less expensive.

scotch bonnet pepper

🥗Healthier: jalapeño

💰Cheaper: bell pepper

Jalapeño offers heat with fewer calories; bell pepper is milder and more affordable.

Fry 5 chicken thighs in olive oil until golden brown on both sides.

Season with salt and black pepper.

Add 1 onion, 1 pepper, 1 zucchini, and 4 garlic cloves, chopped.

Add parsley, salt, and pepper to taste.

In a bowl, mix 1/2 cup sweet chilli sauce, 60 ml soy sauce, 2 tbsp orange juice, 2 tbsp honey, and 1 tbsp dijon mustard.

Cook the mixture for 3 minutes.

Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables.

Bake at 180°C/356°F for 25 minutes.

For the second preparation, fry 5 chicken thighs in oil and butter until golden brown on both sides.

Add 5-6 garlic cloves, 0.3 lbs cherry tomatoes, and 70 g green olives.

Pour in 1 cup white wine and add thyme.

Cover with foil and bake at 180°C/356°F for 30 minutes.
