thigh is better all around
but breast has more meat

>>11152571
This but if you can cook a breast just right its pretty amazing too

Thigh.
Both should be bone-in and skin on.

>>11152571
>a pound of breast weighs more than a pound of thigh.

>>11152561
I prefer the chicken tiddies.

>>11152580
but breast is heavier than thighs

Thigh because it’s got more flavor. Breasts are great for when you require shredded chicken though.

>>11152580
thighs have more fat while breasts are lean
so if you took a breast and cut it up into pieces, did the same with a thigh, a breast would have more meat per pound than the thigh

don't be stupid

>>11152660
Fat is meat. Unless you're talking about cartridge, bones, or silver skin, you're the stupid one. Even if you for some reason removed the skin and fat from thighs, they'd still taste much better than fucking breasts.

Thigh for this guy.

Thigh. Juicier and cheaper. Breasts are a meme.

>>11152561
>he doesn't roast a whole chicken
they cost like 5 bucks while a package of thighs or breasts is 5 bucks.
just roast a whole chicken.

>>11152839
he's right, though

Wow, that derailed rather quickly for a thread where you had to pick one or the other. Nice job retards...

Thighs are best.

Both are great and have their uses, the choice is so hard I would leave it to a coin flip.

For me, it is the chicken's thigh

>>11154196
fuck eaten anything bone-in

Breast is easier to use since it has no bones and you can just cut it into smaller pieces following the lines in the meat.

Just like in humans and anime girls, the thighs happen to be the best

>>11154025
the reason they are so cheap is because
1. 30% of the weight is bone
2. you're stuck with a bunch of chicken part you may not necessarily prefer
3. it's harder to cook, by which I mean, no matter the size of your oven, you probably can't cook more than 2 at a time
Where as if you buy a 12 or 20 pack of thighs, you get all the cuts you want and none of the cuts you don't want
you also don't have to worry about cooking them all at once because of their size
and even if you did trim down two chickens into all of the parts, it's still not really all that worth it because you still have a bunch of stuff you might not want to eat

Literally the only reason to buy a whole chicken instead of individual parts is if you plan on serving whole chicken and saving the bones for broth
There are no real advantages to whole chicken over precut pieces

>>11152561
Breast. The thigh is peasant meat.

>>11152561
>thigh
>breast
*my disgust*

>>11154744
Where I live a whole chicken is cheaper than a pack of 2 breasts or a pack of 4 thighs. 1 is a non issue, 2 only matters if you're stupidly picky, 3 is outright false, a standard oven can easily fit 4 if you're not retarded.

Breast because thighs taste too "chickeny" if you know what I mean.

>>11156261
Yeah but chicken meat in general is already super mellow so most recipes involve dressing it up significantly. When I make chicken I generally either marinade over night or crockpot it while at work so regardless of if I use breast or thigh it'll taste more like whatever I've seasoned it with. I prefer breast simply because I like the texture a little more, but I'd be just as happy with thigh meat.

Thicc Breast

Thigh. I've had way too many times eaten breast and got dry, chewy meat.

I just drizzle oil on the breast before cooking. It comes out just as tasty as a thigh and is a bit cheaper.

I prefer the breast. I typically make more than I can eat and always end up with one or two extra servings. I think chicken breast keeps and reheats better than thighs.

>>11152561
>thighs, deboned, hand minced, formed into patties, seasoned with self made cajun spice mix, roasted in oven.
Literal Haute Cuisine.

>be me
>live with parents
>always tell dad to get thighs
>"oh no son i can afford to buy the breast, much better"
>no id rather have thighs
>"no its fine ill just get the breast"
why does he do this

literally no chicken dish better with breast if you have thigh

>>11159028
god I’m glad I had financially responsible parents. imagine getting upset over cuts of chicken...

>>11159028
But breasts are one to two dollars a kg cheaper.

Either is fine for me, they both have their merits. For some reason breasts are cheaper around here, so that's what I usually end up buying.

>>11152561
Thigh taste better but breasst is more tender.

>>11152561
Both

>>11152571
>>11152580
obviously you're meant to buy both and have one of each when you cook them, more variety and helps remind you that you're eating what was once a chicken, you can be like heh just ate like half a chicken

Thigh cuz muh fats. Chicken has a pretty garbage nutrition profile compared to ruminants. Sometimes when I get nostalgic I'll eat chicken wings or thighs but if I don't get my fatty beef or lamb in before or after it won't be as good of a day.

>>11154274
just make my shit BONELESS

>>11159499
