The National Broiler
Council has this to say about
chicken thighs, their answer
to the holiday hostess faced
with the “what to serve’’
dilemma:
Thighs are easy to dress up
for any kind of party, from a
formal seated dinner to an
informal buffet or a gala
drop-in where finger foods
are served.
Thighs are nutritional
giants, especially rich in
protein and niacin but also
with generous amounts of
riboflavin phosphorous,
Vitamin A, thiamine, iron,
and clacium. Each thigh
provides approximately 24
grams of protein or more
than half the average adult
recommended daily
requirement.
Thighs go easy on calones,
When dressed up for a party, chicken is a sure-to
please dish for almost any kind of holiday en
tertaining. Above, herbed chicken thighs with a
sprinkling of cheese (Party Perfect Baked
Chicken) is the star of an informal buffet

Council recommends are:
