Are chicken thighs high in cholesterol? A little higher than breasts, but not dangerously so. In the grand scheme of your overall diet, they are a perfectly reasonable, nutrient-rich choice. Your body is smarter than you think—it handles the cholesterol from food just fine when you’re eating an otherwise balanced diet.
So go ahead, grab that pack of thighs. Marinate them in lemon and garlic. Roast them until the skin is crispy (or take it off if you’re cautious). Serve them with a massive green salad. You’ll feel satisfied, and your heart will be just fine.
And honestly? Life is too short for dry, boring chicken. Eat the thigh. Be happy.
