    Step 1.

    How to fry chicken thighs in a frying pan? Prepare all the products listed in the recipe. If you have frozen chicken thighs, then they must first be thawed at room temperature.

    Add a little water to the pan, cover with a lid, reduce the flame of the stove to moderate and cook the chicken for 30-40 minutes. Periodically open the lid and check if there is liquid in the pan and if the meat does not burn. If there is no liquid or not enough, then add quite a bit of boiling water so that the thighs are stewed. Sometimes it takes a little more or less water, focus on not burning anything.
