Then the LORD said to Moses
on Leviticus 7:28-34
The breast goes to Aaron and his sons, and the right thigh to the priest who presents the blood and fat. Verse 34 says the LORD took those parts from the sons of Israel and gave them to the priests, so their food is His gift.

who presents the blood and fat of the peace offering
The officiating priest's claim to the thigh follows the pattern of Leviticus 7:7-9. There the guilt offering, the hide and the cooked grain go to the priest who performs the rite.

He among the sons of Aaron that offereth the blood of the peace offerings, and the fat,....
Jesus Christ is our great peace-offering; for he made himself a sacrifice, not only to atone for sin, and so to save us from the curse, but to purchase a blessing for us, and all good. By our joyfully partaking of the benefits of redemption we feast upon the sacrifice, to signify which the Lord's supper was instituted.
