If they are thinking about boneless skinless breast then yeah, that is fucking disgusting.
But if it is roasted bone in skin on attatched to the whole bird, it is amazing and juicy.

But seeing as this is Britain, they probably like the blandness and dryness of shoe leather like the rest of their food.

i worked with a rail-thin jewish guy who had a fiance who could not cook for shit. one day he showed up to work with 2 boiled, unseasoned chicken breasts in a tupperware container. he microwaved them and ate them on a paper towel (we were out of paper plates) with ketchup, also on the paper towel. it was the most humiliating and disgusting lunch i've ever seen. he didn't see anything wrong with it.

In your honest opinion, how many of those bongs do you think are cooking chicken breast well?

[Anonymous No.15016247]

>>15016183
ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS brine it, but NEVER for too long (30 minutes, 1 hour is orobably too much). Brining it too long makes it kinda mushy. Bread it and fry it (I brine it in pickle juice if im breading it and frying it). If you wanna make tenders, use buttermilk instead of brine before breading and frying it. Slow cook it in BBQ sauce and shred/pull it. Pan-fry it with seasoning (make sure to brine bevause otherwise it can come out a bit dry if you overcook it; brining makes it juicier and gives a bit of extra headroom so in case you cook it a bit longer than you should). Hell, even if you DO make it unseasoned and just do some shit like boiling it, it will STILL be fine in a sandwich if you make a mustard-mayo sweet sauce.

Oh nah dude I can cook it fine even without brining, but im saying brining makes it easier for people who HAVEN'T cooked it before because it saves the chicken in the event they overcook it a bit (or if they fucked it up because it came out too dry, brining will make it at least a little bit better)

[Anonymous No.15017408]

It's just way easier to fuck up breasts and they become all dry. Thighs are easy mode cooking. To keep breasts moist pan fry in oil for 5 minutes on one side, then when you flip them add a pat of butter to the pan and put the lid on the pan and cook for another 5 minutes. They will definitely be moist on the inside after that unless you have the heat way too high. I also like to throw in a handful of sliced up scallions (the white part) with the butter but not sure if that actually affects the moisture levels.

Also make sure you season it well dumbass.

Funny you should mention that, I just ate some fried chicken. The breasts were juicy, and the buns were soft and warm. Afterwards, the division manager of Popeyes came up to my table and asked me how the meal was.I said I was satisfied, but the meal lacked a certain je ne sais quoi. He apologized profusely, and said he had something to show me that would make up for it.

He lead me to the back of the popeyes, to a room soaked from floor to ceiling in blood. In the center of it was a live horse, chained by all four legs to the structural supports of the warehouse like room. As I watched, employees of the popeyes cut large sections from the horse, which was whinneying and screaming in horror, the remaining sections of its body covered with festering sores and a froth of sweat.

The popeyes employees took the chunks of horseflesh and sliced them into pieces, then they rooted around through the bags of trash strewn around the room to find discarded chicken bones.

They quickly tenderized the meat with sledgehammers and fed it into a machine which formed the horsemeat around the bones, then they breaded and deepfried it.

I asked the division manager why he had led me back to this place, and he pointed at the steed's rump, the diseased asshole puckering rythmically with terror, squirting pus with each convulsion. "We're just about to use that section, would you like a crack at it first?"

I quickly unzipped my pants and wasted no time jamming my erect penis into the stallion's defenseless asshole. With each thrust, I donkey punched the horse in the back of the head, making it clench its ass even tighter. I came just as the horse died. I was delighted. Popeyes definitely went the extra mile to make me a satisfied customer.

I will say that breasts have one redeeming factor: If you pound them flat and thin, you can get a much higher ratio of browning to meat than with thighs and legs. Plus, butterflying a chicken breast, pan frying it, and then serving it with some jarred/bottled sauce and maybe some chopped veg is a meal so simple that you could make it while blind drunk. The same can't be said for dark meat, which requires at least a little bit of effort.
