Removing the bone from a chicken thigh is more than just a quick and easy process. It is an excellent way to cut down actual cooking time. Spend a few moments in the kitchen removing bones from a chicken completely, and you are well on your way to a series of quick and easy meals.
1 Use a standard, sharp kitchen knife to slice through the joint where the thigh and drumstick meet. The cartilage at this joint is extremely soft, so your knife should feel little resistance
2)The leg has now been split into thigh and drumstick pieces. The drumstick can be removed using the exact same method as for removing the thigh bone.
3 Make an incision along the top of the bone. Deepen the incision by slicing into the thigh until your knife reaches bone. The bone will be visible through the incision, it will be white and very firm.
4 Slice the meat away from the bone by making short slices that will disconnect the meat from the bone. As the meat comes free of the bone, use your fingers to pull it clear of the bone.
5 Grasp the now partially disconnected bone and pull it up and away from the thigh to enable you to make slices underneath the remaining bone. You will feel the bone begin to loosen from the thigh. Make the necessary cuts to remove the bone completely from the thigh.
6 Continue slicing until you have removed any unwanted bits of bone, sinew, skin, and tendons. The thigh is now ready.
