Halal British Chicken Bone-In Thigh is the meatier upper-leg cut, sold bone-in with the skin on or off. Certified Halal and produced in the UK, it stays moist through long roasting or braising, good for curries, tray bakes and dinners. Available whole or diced, in packs from 500g to 10kg.
Thigh or Drumstick: What's the Difference?
Thigh is the rounder, meatier upper part of the leg; the drumstick is the lower leg bone. This is thigh only, sold bone-in so the bone helps it hold shape and flavour while cooking.
What's in Every Pack?
Each piece is 100% chicken thigh, bone-in, with the bone left in to hold its shape under heat. It's supplied skin-on or skin-off, skin-on crisps well in the oven, skin-off suits curries and stews.
Cutting Styles and Pack Sizes
Order this thigh whole, or diced to 50-60g, 20-30g or 10-15g, skin-on or skin-off, in packs of 500g, 1kg, 2kg, 3kg, 5kg or 10kg, from a single meal to a full meal-prep batch.
How to Cook Bone-In Chicken Thigh
Bone-in thigh roasts well skin-on at around 200°C until the skin crisps and the meat pulls from the bone; skin-off pieces suit braising or curry. For a simple roast, season and oven-roast until cooked through and the juices run clear.
Pack sizes run from 500g up to 10kg, so a smaller pack suits a single family meal while the 5kg or 10kg packs suit batch cooking or larger gatherings. Choose whole pieces for roasting or diced pieces for curries and stews.
Store this product at -2C to +4C. It is suitable for freezing on the day it arrives, with a freezer life of up to 1 month. Allow around 24 hours to defrost fully in the fridge before cooking.
Bone-in chicken thigh suits a classic roast dinner, a spiced chicken curry, or a Middle-Eastern-style tray bake with lemon and garlic. It also works well jointed into a biryani or a slow-cooked stew, where the bone adds depth to the sauce.
Sunday Roast Thighs
Season skin-on bone-in thighs well and roast until the skin crisps and the juices run clear, basting once halfway through.
One-Tray Bake
Toss skin-on thighs with root vegetables and roast on a single tray for an easy midweek dinner.
Curry Base
Skin-off pieces braise well in a curry sauce, taking on spice while the bone keeps the meat moist.
How long should I marinate bone-in chicken thigh?
A few hours in the fridge is enough for flavour to reach the surface, and overnight, around 12-24 hours, lets it penetrate deeper towards the bone.
Can I marinate it for longer than 24 hours?
Keep it marinating within the fridge life of the fresh product; for longer, freeze the thigh in its marinade and defrost it fully, allowing around 24 hours in the fridge, before cooking.
Does skin-on or skin-off take marinade differently?
Skin-off pieces absorb marinade faster since the flesh is exposed, while skin-on pieces hold seasoning mostly on and under the skin, so lift or score the skin slightly for better contact.
How do I know the marinade has worked?
The surface should look visibly coated and slightly darker where the marinade has sat; bone-in pieces still cook evenly since the bone helps distribute heat regardless of marinade depth.
