Are you a breast or leg man?

Breasts are perfect for masala or /fit/ homos, but legs are best for pretty much anything else, especially stirfry!

Fried white meat is too dry, but fry up some dark meat it's juicy and delicious; deal with it /pol/

Leg, but white meat can be used in certain applications where you'd like larger chunks instead of shreds.

So aside from masala what are those applications? Enchiladas are a definite no go since the already cooked breast will fry out more.

It's dry if it came out of the deep freezer and it's dry if you overcook it. I actually can't remember the last time I didn't have juicy chicken breast in any application or recipe, at home or in a restaurant. I think you're just underskilled and maybe poor and not going to better restaurants? Do you live in the US? Where do you source your chicken? Thighs are alright, but they're simply not the same thing as breast meat, nor interchangeable.

I get live chickens and kill them myself because kosher meat is nonexistent here.

breast.

eating all the shit on the legs, the skin, cartilage, etc is nonsense.

breast is a nice big juicy chunk of meat. no bones, no nonsense in there getting in the way of your delicious meat. breast is also so neutral that you can do so much shit to it that's delicious. the legs are trash.

and to all of you 'muh bones' 'muh dark meat' 'muh flavor' go fuck yourselves. you're delusional, and we have spices and sauces in first world countries to deal with any of that shit.

for me its breast, nicely browned, more on the dry side. i prefer other meats juicy but with chicken i like it dryer for some reason.

>> No.12664516

Depends on how I'm preparing the chicken and what dish I intend to have. If I'm doing fried chicken, I like the thighs/leg quarters. Juicy and tender meat is best.

If I'm making some sort of dish that involves piece of chicken - then I use a breast.

It all depends, I guess.

yeah no. the worst meat on any poultry.
you eat it for dieting, not for flavor

>> No.12664567

Breast can be good but just takes too much effort. Even a 30min brine improves it by a lot and reduces the dryness, or do a proper marinade, or hammer it flat and bread it, it can be nice poached too if prepared properly. But thighs are just way more practical, skin's better, bones give flavor, you don't have to babysit it so that it comes out decent.

>> No.12664602

>>12664199
in a lot of applications you can just cook the thighs down so the meat falls off the bone and the cartilage etc liquifies into broth. you get shredded chicken great for a lot of recipes with a lot more flavor than the breast.

I used to hate dark meat, but as I aged, I realized that the things I didn't like about it, the color and veins running through it, didn't matter if I just pulled the whole leg off the bird and ate it like a cartoon king. Also it tastes great and has a higher skin to meat ratio

>> No.12665201

I'm a whole chicken man, eat it all then roast the bones and make a stock. Breasts are good for a chicken parm or marinated in buttermilk. It's just all around classier and cleaner flavor.

But the thighs/legs are good for slow cooking, deep frying, teriyaki chicken... etc.

If you're going to serve it in a cream/butter sauce. I don't think dark meat in cream sauces is very good because it just feels too rich and heavy then.

Nothing wrong with rich sauce. Give me a rich sauce over jerky tier chicken any day.

I get shit from my family when I roast raw chicken for a time I just determine by myself, no temp measuring involved. Even when I take out it and cut the thickest piece down the middle to show it is entirely white throughout they want to put it in at least 5 more minutes every time. Is this sane or am I rolling dice with the salmonella deities?

I find breast really jucy as long as you make sure that the internal temp is 165. I don't like the texture of chicken thighs sometimes.
