There's been an increase in the amount of people trying new recipes at home recently, so we've rounded up our favourite chicken thigh recipes that range from simple midweek recipes, to more exciting dishes to try now that people have more time to experiment.

Chicken thighs are more juicy and flavoursome than breasts, as well as being cheaper.

Thighs are also more forgiving and stay tender and succulent, which makes them great for easy midweek meals and reheating the next day. From tagines to casseroles to curries you'll love these recipes!

Cooking rice in mixture of puréed vegetables and stock is a great way to add nutrition and bags of flavour to this simple meal. Serve on its own, or with a big bowl of cooked spring greens, tossed in the juices from the roasting tin.
