About Chicken Thighs

Chicken thighs are the secret weapon of great home cooks. The dark meat stays moist and flavourful even after long cooking, making thighs ideal for pilau, curry, stew and slow braises where breast would dry out.

PrimeBird thighs are available bone-in (best for flavour and stock) and boneless-skinless (fast weeknight cooking). They take marinades superbly and crisp up beautifully under the grill.

A favourite of restaurants for their consistency and value, thighs deliver more flavour per shilling than almost any other cut. Order fresh for same-day Nairobi delivery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are PrimeBird chicken thighs bone-in or boneless?

Both. Choose bone-in skin-on thighs for maximum flavour and stock, or boneless-skinless thighs for quick weeknight meals.

Why are thighs better than breast for stews?

Thigh meat is dark meat with more connective tissue and fat, so it stays juicy and tender through long, moist cooking, while breast tends to dry out.

How much do chicken thighs cost?

PrimeBird thighs are priced from about KES 520 to KES 600 per kilo, with wholesale rates for bulk orders.
