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