Macro-Friendly Chicken Thigh Recipes will make getting dinner done and your macros in totally achievable!

If you don't know, chicken thighs are our favorite cut of dark meat poultry because of their juiciness and flavor and tenderness. Dark meat contains more tendons, chicken thighs are a tough cut, but because they contain more fat than white meat, they become tender and juicy when cooked properly. They also have more flavor than regular chicken breasts.

Also, if you know and love Trader Joe's Mandarin Orange Chicken like we do, then know you're eating chicken thighs. You're welcome.
