Stuffed Chicken Thighs

Stuffed chicken thighs are another of my ideas made with chicken, although in this case, my husband had a hand in it.

Being a butcher, I had him debone them, and in the end, he prepared them while I was taking photos.

Below you’ll find all the photos of the steps to debone the chicken, then stuff and tie them.

If you want, you can also cook them in the air fryer at 400°F for about 20 minutes, though it can vary a bit depending on the type of air fryer and its capacity, so check the cooking.

This time, I baked them in the traditional oven!

I assure you that with this simple and tasty recipe, you’ll win everyone over at the table.

So, all that’s left is to replicate the recipe, and if you do, feel free to send me your photos, and I’ll put them on my Facebook page under your name!
