Honestly what's the point of getting chicken breasts instead of thighs? No matter how shitty it comes out the thighs will end up tasting better.

Thighs are almost universally better than breasts, and getting either a whole chicken or just leg quarters is significantly cheaper than breasts.

I got a bag of like 12 leg quarters for 6 something bucks last week.

Breasts are leaner and have a more elegant teture so I use them in european recipes that have chicken as the main meat and I would use them in japanese if I was making anything japanese with chicken. For everything else I use either boneless chicken leg meat or thighs although I think chicken leg meat is better.

Breasts have one third the fat content per serving. That isn't some nonsense like No Fap or a questionable edge case like xenoestrogens in soy or plastic, it is just a basic fact. Breasts have less fat and fewer calories for the same amount of chicken.

I have found it is cheaper to buy chicken thigh fillets as opposed to bone-on. The bones contribute a lot to the weight, so despite the cheaper per-kg price of bone-on thighs, the per-kg price of edible chicken was higher.

>> No.12675820

Except something is totally off with supermarket brand chicken thighs (even "natural" brands), they taste like death. The breasts are flavorless but apparently that's a good thing. Better mouth-feel as well

The biggest supermarket in my area soak their meat in water. I suspected as much, but when I went to another supermarket and compared the nutritional content of the same fat% minced beef I found that my local meat fell short in nutritional content by about 15%.

Assuming this isn’t bait, breasts are ideal for stuffing, such as in chicken Kiev. Their low fat content also makes them a great pair with leftover animal fat, such as bacon grease. A great way to deal with bacon grease is confit chicken breast for pulled chicken sandwiches. Part of learning how to cook is to actually learn cooking techniques to make delicious food instead of being a stupid fucking nigger and basking in your own stupidity like OP.

Thighs do have a lot more flavor and fat that creates flavor. But chicken breast can definitely be better in tendies. chicken parm, and other things. Chicken thigh is well understood by most and tastes fine regardless of who buys and prepares it. One isn't necessarily better than the other. I love both!

Breasts are delicious if you time their cooking -perfectly- which is pretty easy if you have a thermometer

but the fatfucks who buy them to lose weight are all cookinglets who invariably overcook them and ruin them so they end up resenting their 'healthy' food and cycle between suffering and binging

You can get leg quarters for $.39 a pound around here when on sale. They are frozen and sold in ten pound bags and take some processing, but still decent.

Thighs will always taste like chicken thighs.
The breast is nearly flavorless by itself. You can make it everything through the right spices and herbs.

>> No.12678059

Im sure this is bait but whatever
The reason why people prefer breast meat is because, as stated before, it has the best protein amount per calories and other macronutrients you can get from animals within a reasonable price. When you are trying to build mass or even maintain your muscle mass, you need to hit a high amount of protein without overeating. For example, a typical cut cycle would require ~150g protein and less than 1800 calories daily. Not too mention a low amount of fat and carbs. The solution to accomplish strict requirement is lean meats and poultry, like chicken breast. You can eat a decent amount for only several hundred calories and get a huge chunk of protein macros.
