Right so I have Chicken Thighs for tomorrows dinner & I'm feeling very uninspired. Anyone got any suggestions & recipes, pretty please.

If you feel like de boning them a chilli made with thigh meat is gorgeous especially if made night before. I suppose you could leave them unboned too - although I haven't done that. Curries great with thigh meat too and my Pakistani friend always leaves her thighs whole in it- my kids get a bit whiny when I try to do same so I gen debone them

Make a Paella
or marinade in Chicken tikka spice
or make a chicken stew?

if the skin is on you can marinade them in salt and peper, some spices - paprika, chilli (whatever you have) and then splash some olive oil and roast them for 40 minutes. Love with salad and potatoes.

if skin is off slow cook them in a curry - thighs are the best meat for a curry.

Try the Lemon & Garlic baked Chicken with Pilaf Rice from the food club, it's delish

Look up nigella's spanish chicken, just need chorizo, potatoes, onion, very tasty, my kids love it.

The food club chicken chasseur - gorgeous.

I would bone and stuff them. Wrap them in a rasher, pan fry to brown and finish off in oven.

Going to try this this evening!

This went down a treat- kids loved it. I only used half portions of the veg and it was enough for us.
