Best Succulent Sous Vide Chicken Thighs Recipes
SOUS VIDE CHICKEN THIGHS
Using the sous vide method to make chicken not only makes it extremely juicy, it'll be the most tender chicken you've ever had! Keeping the skin on ensures you won't overcook the chicken when you sear it in the pan. Traditionally you need to cook chicken to 165 F or until no longer pink, however with sous vide cooking, you can achieve the same safety with extended cooking at lower temperatures.

CHILI-LIME SOUS VIDE CHICKEN THIGHS
Get ready to be amazed at how juicy this chicken will turn out, with the help of a sous vide immersion cooker. Using skin-on thighs ensures you won't overcook the chicken when you sear it in the pan, as the skin acts as an insulator. The key to a quick sear and crispy skin is to get the pan as hot as possible, without letting the oil smoke.
