what is the best "Dark Meat" Chicken recipe?

Answer 1

Chicken Salad.....of course!!!

This is really good if you use crockpot for your chicken......Take 3-4 lbs of legs, thighs, etc....generously salt and cook in crockpot on high until meat is very tender......Do not put any water in it....it will make it's own juices and be delicious.
Remove from bone and chop into bite size pieces.
Put chicken in large mixing bowl....Add 1 cup sweet pickle cubes...3 boiled eggs (chopped very fine...I use cabbage grater and shred them).....1 small onion....very finely diced (do not use
processor or electric chopper....it makes it strong).....1 TBLS black pepper, and 1 1/2 cup hellman's mayo......Mix well......Add 1/2 cups slivered almonds and 2 cups seedless black or purple grapes....(washed and cut in half) Fold these ingredients in....if it seems a bit dry...add more mayo....Chill for 2-3 hours. It is great on sandwich with swiss cheese and lettuce.....ENJOY

Answer 2

I love boneless chicken thighs in a tequila lime marinade.
In a ziplock combine 1/4 c tequila, olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic & the juice of two limes. Add boneless chicken thighs and marinate overnight or up to three days.
Broil or bbq.

Answer 5

Chicken legs & thighs are great as "tetrazzini" or cacciatore----baked in seasoned tomato sauces, with mushrooms, peppers, & onions.

They are also great smothered in BBQ sauce, or baked in a half & half mixture of soy sauce & water.

Lots of Thai recipes use them, too--google "chicken thigh recipes".
Good eating!
