What are your favorite recipes/dishes when meal prepping for the week? I will share one of my favorites, my chicken thigh recipe. This recipe is the best I found to have your chicken moist and delicious for an entire week.
Recipe is for 1 pack bone in and skin on chicken thighs. (10-12 thighs)
The Brine:
1.5 Liters warm water
1/4 cup Mortens course Kosher salt
1/4 cup brown sugar
Add salt and sugar to water until dissolved
Rinse chicken thighs and place in gallon freezer bag- add brine mixture to bag
Refrigerate for 12 hours
Marinade:
Drain brine from bag
Add your favorite wet marinade or salad dressing to bag of chicken. My favorite is teriyaki with a tablespoon hot pepper flakes.
Refrigerate for an additional 12-24 hrs
Remove chicken from bag and place in baking dish, skin side up.
BAKE at 400 degrees for 45-60 minutes or until internal temperature of 165 degrees.
Remove and allow chicken to rest for 5 minutes.
Transfer to storage container with lid for refrigeration.
Reheating:
I leave the skin on for reheating and remove the bone and will sprinkle water over chicken. I remove the skin after reheating. I will reheat with basmati rice and favorite vegetable.
Chicken remains moist and delicious after many days of being in the refrigerator.
