3-Step Execution Protocol

1
Preheat & Prep

Preheat boiling to 190°F (88°C). Prepare chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on / poached) (4 bone-in skin-on chicken thighs (approx 6 to 8 oz each) submerged in broth).

2
Cook

Cook for 20–25 mins. Do not flip; allow surface to develop undisturbed.

3

Pro Tip: Poaching bone-in thighs yields rich chicken broth as a byproduct while keeping the dark meat succulent for chicken salad or enchiladas.
