What Makes This Recipe So Good
This recipe guarantees perfectly cooked chicken thighs. The sous vide takes all of the guess work out of what method to use and how long to cook your chicken. Simply add everything to a resealable bag, place it in your sous vide bath and then walk away for two hours. You’ll return to incredibly juicy and delicious chicken thighs! These crispy sous vide chicken thighs are perfectly seasoned. Using the sous vide to cook chicken allows it to retain a lot of its own incredible flavor. Therefore, we’re able to go light on the seasoning and still receive very flavorful chicken thighs. The final step of this recipe includes frying each chicken thigh in butter for 1-2 minutes per side. This step is incredibly crucial to achieving that ideal combination of crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside!
Chef’s Tips
When cooking with a sous vide, make sure to remove as much air from your plastic bag as possible. If any air is left inside your bag with the ingredients, it will cause the bag to float in the sous vide bath. If your bag floats, then you run the risk of cooking your food unevenly, or not at all. Feel free to cook these crispy sous vide chicken thighs for an extra hour if you’d like. An additional hour of cooking will yield more tender, though slightly less juicy chicken thighs. To do this, simply set your sous vide to three hours instead of two. You can easily double this recipe! If you plan on doubling this recipe, then I recommend using two separate resealable plastic bags – each with four chicken thighs. This is a great option if you’re cooking for a crowd.
