Chicken Thighs - Osso Buco Style image

Chicken thighs stand in well for veal shanks in osso buco; their higher fat content, compared to other chicken parts, lets them hold up to long cooking or braising. Chicken thighs are simmered in a heady tomato sauce, then sprinkled with zesty gremolata and served on a bed of Gruyere-laced polenta.

This was a great recipe! The chicken was tender and flavorful, and the sauce was rich and creamy. I served it over mashed potatoes and it was a hit with my family. I will definitely be making this again.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. The sauce lacked flavor and the chicken was a bit dry. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste. The sauce was very heavy and the chicken was a bit greasy. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I've never made osso buco before, but this recipe made it easy and delicious. The chicken thighs were a great substitute for the traditional veal shanks, and the cooking method was simple to follow. I'll definitely be making this again!

Just finished making this dish for dinner and it was a huge hit! The chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender and the sauce was incredibly flavorful. I served it over mashed potatoes and it was the perfect comfort food for a cold night. Thanks for sharin
