Hey there, can I use chicken thighs in this recepie instead of the legs please?

Fiona Logan

Hi Alicia, sure you can use chicken thighs. Cooking time would be less for thighs though they are a very forgiving cut and wouldn’t overcook really. If skin on and bone in, we would keep cooking time the same. For boneless/skinless, we would reduce by 15 to 25-30 mins total.

Great food – soft, crispy chicken with sweet taste from the pomegranate
