What is your favorite part of a chicken carcass? I’m sure most will answer that it’s legs or thighs. Because this place has the most tender, so-called “red” meat. Yes, you can also cook the breast so that it is soft and juicy, but it is much more difficult.

And they usually say about thighs that they are very difficult to spoil with anything and, as a rule, they turn out tasty on their own.

And personally, I am inclined to agree with this statement. This is the part of the bird that I learned to cook first. What to cook there? Grease the baking sheet and put it in the oven. But, over time, the desire to enjoy food led to the complication of recipes, the addition of various marinades and sauces.

The first three recipes are based on preparing honey sauce with the addition of various ingredients that will pleasantly highlight the caramel taste. I recommend starting your experiments with these options. It is quite possible that after them you will no longer want to try any others.
