Twenty-Five Tactics: Chicken Thighs

Here's a fun little game that I think will be of great benefit. The idea is to come up with 25 ways to prepare the target ingredient. All you need do is post your idea/suggestion. It can be as simple as "#1 Fried Chicken", or you can list a basic method for the recipe and hit the highlights, or go ahead and post a whole recipe. Sharing a link to a recipe from here or outside is perfectly acceptable. It's up to you.

You can post as often as you like. Whoever posts the 25th Tactic should pick a new target ingredient and then we'll start a new thread for that target ingredient. The ingredient can be anything you like, veggie, meat, pasta, etc.

In the end, we could end up with several threads for many different ingredients. These would be great resources. Imagine sitting around thinking, how am I going to prepare the chicken tonight? Then you open the Twenty-Five Tactics: Chicken thread and boom, you're inspired! :biggrin:

Bone the thigh, remove skin, and trim meat to "bun size". Deep fry, pan fry, or grill till just done and juicy. Put on a bun with lettuce, tomato, and pickle.
