what do you think anon

chicken breast is good if you brine it just right, but thigh is the superior cut for a chicken filet.
>thigh takes a marinade the best
>best for high or low heat
>best for grilling, smoking, roasting, pan frying
>best for soup
I pretty much only buy thighs now unless I'm making something like chicken piccata in which case I brine the breast meat first

One of my favourite preps of late
>40min rice, perfect texture and nice and sticky, all starch thoroughly rinsed away before cooking
>steamed brocc or snow peas
>chicken thigh, diced, fried in a skillet with ginger, chili flakes, pepper, salt or sprinkle of soy sauce
>serve it all over the rice with a drizzle of teriyaki or honey soy

Bonus:
couple scallies on the side for fun
