According to the USDA, frozen poultry can be stored indefinitely at 0°F or below, However maintaining quality for the very long term is only for one year.

You do not need to cook them from frozen, but it will take longer to cook them properly.

It's generally best to thaw the chicken thighs before cooking them, but there are a few ways to cook frozen chicken thighs without thawing them first.

* Stovetop: Preheat a skillet with a little oil over medium heat. Add the frozen chicken thighs and cook, covered, for 15-20 minutes on each sides or until cooked through.

* Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the frozen chicken thighs in a baking dish, add a little water or broth, and cover with foil. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until cooked through.

* Microwave: Place the frozen chicken thighs in a microwave-safe dish and cover them with plastic wrap. Microwave on high for 3-4 minutes, turning halfway through cooking, or until the thighs are cooked through.
