Chicken thighs in a frying pan - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can substitute chicken breasts, but adjust cooking time to prevent drying out—reduce to 12-15 minutes per side due to leaner meat.
Use almond flour, crushed gluten-free crackers, or grated Parmesan for a crispy coating without gluten.
Store in an airtight container for 3–4 days. Reheat gently in a pan or microwave to retain moisture.
Try substituting chicken with firm tofu or portobello mushrooms; marinate and pan-fry similarly, reducing cooking time to 5–7 minutes per side.
Serve with roasted veggies, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad for a balanced meal.
Yes, freeze in a sealed bag for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat in a skillet for best texture.
Ensure the pan is well-heated and oiled before adding thighs, and avoid moving them until a crust forms.
Omit breadcrumbs and use a spice rub (e.g., paprika-garlic powder) for flavor. Cook as directed.
Yes, marinate thighs up to 24 hours in advance for deeper flavor; store covered in the fridge.
