Brilio.net - Choosing chicken as a daily meal menu could be the right choice because this food ingredient is easy to process. Not only that, almost all parts of the chicken can be cooked and consumed, you know. However, one of the chicken meat that is a favorite of many people is the thigh.
Some dishes, such as fried chicken or dim sum, are even better made using chicken thighs. Not without reason, chicken thighs have a softer meat texture than other parts of the chicken. When cooked, chicken thighs also release fat which makes the texture juicier and juicier.
However, some people sometimes have difficulty processing chicken thighs, especially if all they need is the meat or fillets. Filleting or separating the bones and meat of chicken thighs tends to be difficult because there are large bones in the middle. Sticking meat needs to be cut carefully so that no meat is wasted.
So because it is considered quite difficult, a number of people often buy chicken thigh fillets or those that have been separated from the bones. However, compared to whole chicken thighs, chicken thigh fillets tend to be more expensive. So, to save money, you can actually fillet your own chicken thighs with a special trick shared by Instagram user @ummubalqishaura.

Reported by BrilioFood from the Instagram account @ummubalqishaura on Thursday (4/7), the first thing to do is cut off a small portion of the chicken thigh. When slicing, make sure the bone is also cut a little, okay? This will make the bone more exposed and easier to remove later.
