Not to mention the bone-in chicken thighs yielding the most flavorful chicken stock. If needed, boneless chicken thighs (or breasts) can work as an appropriate sub (but I highly recommend bone-in for extra flavor).

When ready to serve, sprinkle on some of your favorite desired toppings for a complete hearty meal.
