Kirkland Signature fresh fryer chicken thighs sold by the pound in the meat and seafood department. These are bone-in chicken thighs with skin, packaged in Costco's signature air-chilled format that helps retain juiciness and natural texture. Unlike conventional processing methods that dip chicken in saltwater solutions, Costco refrigerates the chicken until it reaches proper temperature, preserving moisture and flavor.

The chicken comes in large packages that can be broken down into 6 individual vacuum-sealed pouches, making it easy to separate into multiple meals or freeze directly in original packaging. Each piece is leakproof and individually portioned for convenient storage. Dark meat chicken thighs are naturally more flavorful, juicier, and more tender than white meat due to higher fat content.

Chicken thighs are versatile and can be prepared using various cooking methods including grilling, baking, air frying, or pan-searing on the stovetop. They are forgiving to cook due to natural fat content and pair well with rice dishes, pasta, vegetables, and various sauces including teriyaki, BBQ, buffalo, or Japanese BBQ sauce. Cook to an internal temperature of 165°F for food safety.
