Dinner a couple of nights ago: Cider-Curry Braised Chicken Thighs

[amanda_pennsylvania]

Sooo good. I didn't have any cayenne pepper, so I included some tumeric and cardamom. So good. I think next time I'll add some raisins in with the apples and carrots.

Hee. Just caught a typo: Cider-Curry Praised Chicken Thighs. Well, we did praise them. smileys/smile.gif

I've been thinking about making that lately. Great minds, I guess.

I've been using Trader Joes frozen chicken thighs but does anyone else find

that there are bits of fat hidden between the meat muscles. It's tedious to pick out the bits which are really unpleasant to eat as they are buried in the meat and don't really render away. Lately I tend to go for drumsticks which are not fatty even though you have to cope with the tendons.

It's a great recipe, Steve. Thanks muchly for posting.

This is not a Trader Joe's specific problem but the way

the thigh is boned. Plus they leave the fat on to increase the weight. I find this in all boneless thighs and I use a very sharp pair of food scissors to take all the fat off anything that has it.
