Why are my chicken thighs rubbery?

[jjsuh]

Hey everyone, I made up a batch of chicken thighs last night, but they turned out disappointingly rubbery. Anyone got the lowdown on what might be causing this culinary conundrum? I seasoned them up nicely, gave a good sear, but still ended up with something more like bounce house material than juicy, succulent chicken. Any kitchen expert out there with some insight?

Your chicken thighs may be rubbery due to overcooking, which can cause the proteins to contract excessively and expel moisture, resulting in a tough texture.
