Chicken thigh recipes, tips, tricks, and techniques for home cooks
I think of them as booster booth sandwiches. This sandwich featured at the concession booth of pretty much ever high school track meet, football game, and soccer tournament I ever went too. Ladled out of a crock pot, sometimes wrapped in thin foil so it all steamed together, they were […]
Dear readers, I am happy to announce that after years of dedicated research, hours of development, and a few minutes of emotionally intensive food processor time, I’m finally ready to reveal my masterpiece. Ladies, gentleman, and all the rest of you, I give you The Not-a-Rib Chicken Thigh Sandwich. It’s […]
If you’re a frequent reader, you already know this, but I ate a lot of Mexican food when I was a kid. I mean a lot. This was sort of weird in Ohio in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s, but my Dad grew up in the Sonoran Desert of […]
If you enjoy The Chicken Thigh Guy, check out my other food project: The Weekly Menu. Chicken Parm probably isn’t Italian. It’s Italian American.

Real Teriyaki is amazing. High quality meats or seafood slowly grilled over impossibly high quality charcoal, caringly tended and basted with an almost magical sauce made from simple ingredients.
