Chicken thighs are better than chicken breasts. Prove me wrong.
You can’t.

And they're cheaper as well. Chicken breast is fine but dark meat is highly superior in every way.

>> No.11951497

I would eat chicken thighs more often but whenever I buy the boneless and skinless, I always get some bone shard or something hard in the chicken and I bite into it when I'm eating and it ruins the entire meal. I have to spit out the tainted food and I immediately lose my appetite for the rest of it. This has happened twice in a row now. Not sure if it's boneless skinless thighs in general or the grocery store I am going to.

There were a lot of things I had to unlearn from growing up about food. My parents did the best they could and cooked a few things well but they didn’t know a lot about food. Things like underseasoning and overcooking meat in general, using margarine instead of butter etc. one of them was definitely leading me to believe boneless skinless cuts like chicken breast was the most desirable. I’m glad that a lot of people still feel that way do thighs are cheap though.

Thigh is best with other strong flavors or to bring a lot of chicken flavor into something, like soup or a heavily spiced slow-cooked meal. Breast meat is best for more delicate preparations where the sheer potency of a thigh would overpower the other ingredients.

No it's not. If it was then breasts would be less desired and less expensive.

There is the whole Sous Vide thing but that's a little bit of a copout because it also applies to thighs. I'm sticking with my flavor balance concept.
>>11951553
Light flavors go better with breasts, but if the chicken must dominate use the thigh.

You retards act like chicken thighs are rare but highly prized cut and only a super secret club knows about them. There are two of them on every countless billions of chickens that take only 5 weeks from hatch until slaughter. Sorry your stupid little secret got posted on a public forum, its too bad thighs will soon be out of your price range when all those hipsters get on board. We must stop the trendy hipsters! They will take all our thighs! Protect the secret!

Tearing the flesh off the bone with your teeth is redpilled and based. Boneless is for fags.

>> No.11954402

>>11952270
You are based bro. Chicken quarters, skin on, bone in are $1.20 each. Thigh & leg attached. I shove fresh thyme and rosemary under the skin w/olive oil. Garlic. Bake. Crispy skin. Dark meat flavor. Knaw off the bone like a man. So good and cheap. I'm glad the boneless breast fags keep the man feast cheap.

They ain't got much meat, but they're cheap as fuck.

I buy an 8 pack for 3 or 4 dollars, boil them for 20 or 30 minutes, de-skin them, and pick the meat off the bones. I make pulled chicken with the meat and broth with the bones.

It's crazy efficient and I get some dank meals out of it.

I love thighs but getting a good batch of them is rare, and I often find that they taste gamey and have a very strong almost fishy taste.
How do I eliminate this? Will brining them first help?
