Notes
You can store leftover chicken thighs in an airtight container in the fridge for about 3-4 days. To reheat, simply place them in the oven or microwave until heated through. Make sure to dry the chicken well with paper towels for a crispy skin. You can also marinate the chicken thighs for added flavor.
