Roulade
Schnitzel, thigh is too fatty, schnitzel needs to be crisp
Pan roasted and sliced, thigh is too thin and made of too many different muscles to slice into clean pieces

Cheers

>>17578713
>schnitzel needs to be crisp
that's why it's breaded and fried, you absolute mong

>>17578706
You could also try butterflying the breasts, then add stuffing, cheese, ham or bacon, anything. Damn now I want to make stuffed chicken breasts for dinner.

>>17578706
If you need to stuff the meat, breast is the easiest template to do so. And if you like whiter meat, then obviously you go for it.

>>17578706
Am I the only one who doesn't like breasts ? It's the driest part and it doesn't taste any better than the rest.

>>17578706
>there most be times when the breast meat is better
price

>>17579510
For me breasts are better for any type of curry. I'd be a waste to spoil the juiciness and tastiness of thighs in something drenched in spiced sauce.

>>17579510
>It's the driest part
stop overcooking it

>>17579669
How do you do when you cook the whole chicken ?

Poached chicken for salads and sandwiches, you wouldn't want to do that with thighs

I prefer thighs in all applications but soups/stews. If I'm not using wings or drums, which are my preferred cuts for soups and stews, I find thighs and breasts to be interchangeable.

>>17579763
Oh, and as >>17579762 said. I forgot mayonnaise chicken salad was a thing. Yeah, breast is better than thigh for that. Thigh is too unctuous for mayo salads.

Chciken caesar is a breast preferred dish

Anon, I don't think you know what roulade is...

katsu

>>17579510
That's my point, it must be better for SOME recipes

>>17579580
Fair point

If cooked right, breast can be just as good or better than thighs. Just brine or marinate it before cooking.

>>17578706
CHICKEN KYIV NOT KIEV

>>17583545
those are just two slightly different romanizations of the same word though? what are you mad about

Was thinking of doing a roulade with a balsamic red wine reduction but then it felt weird to have breast meat with a red wine sauce. Is that weird?

>>17578706
Does it ever taste better? not really. It's a fairly bland cut. However it is most economical. Don't get scammed by the skin on bone on whole carcass shills, yield is king. Weigh that trash before comparing.

>>17579777
trips of truth
I made chicken Caesar salad with homemade dressing

>>17578706
You eating chicken breat for lean meat?
If so half the good recipes call for deep frying or mayo chicken sandwiches that are full of fat.
I would say just put some good spices and pan sear it then oven if you are going for health.
If not fried chicken is much nicer real fresh with brest meat but thigh meat says good longer because its real fatty.

>>17583663
>Don't get scammed by flavor when grilling whole breasts
bruh that's the way it's going to be tender and flavor full

>>17583550
No. Kyiv is not pronounced (or spelled) like Kiev, even in Cyrillic. Kyiv is the native Ukrainian-language pronunciation and spelling. Kiev is the foreign Russian-language pronunciation and spelling.

>>17583762
>Kiev is the foreign Russian

just remind that ukrainian language is artificial and based on russian dialects and also Kiev was russian city
if you will see etymology, than you will see that Kiev is more correct

>>17583799
Fuck off ivan, you can’t even eat a mac donals anymore.

Shawarma
Sometimes I’ll do Caesar chicken wraps or Buffalo wraps
I always slice the chicken breasts in half long way before grilling. Add more surface area for grill marks and takes less time to grill

>>17579510
Stop being a cooklet

>>17583762
>even in Cyrillic
well duh, that's why we have to romanize it.

>>17579806
>Anon, I don't think you know what roulade is...
Probably because not everyone calls it that, don't be a dick

>>17578706
>Google just keeps repeating that thighs are better always
while this is true, when did people realise it? I thought everyone raved over white meat.

>>17579750

Киeв is foreign Russian-language spelling in Cyrillic.
Київ is native Ukrainian-language spelling in Cyrillic.
Russian Cyrillic alphabet doesn't have the letter ї which is why they have to spell it with e instead.

>>17583762
Kiev belongs to the Rus'

>>17584572
Cool cool cool but nobody can read those moonrunes which is why we romanize them.

>>17584648
Just turn your screen upside down and get a mirror and you can read it just fine..

>>17578706
None
Literally everything you could make with a breast, tastes better if you do it with thighs

>>17584572
>>17583762
>like Kiev, even in Cyrillic

>cyrillic is a languge
>only russians use cyrillic
based retard

>>17584648
KNEB NOT KNIB YOU FUCKING RACIS

>>17584846
Nowhere was it implied that Cyrillic is a language, my ESL friend.

Dumb fucking Ivan. Ukrainian is closer to Polish than Russian.

>>17585310

It's Kiev and will remain so forever especially once Russia gives Ukraine a good nuking. Deal with it, American puppets.

>>17585436

Breasts are the only part of the chicken I'll eat. Dark meat is fucking gross.

Butter chicken
Chicken Cordon Bleu
Chicken fingers
Chicken sandwich

Chicken breast needs to be heavily seasoned. It is great in very rich dishes where the gaminess of thighs would diminish it. Think leeks sauteed in a block of butter with one and a half tablespoons of thyme and rosemary. Or any other aromatics heavily spiced and seasoned. Chicken tortilla soup made well with lime is very good shredded this way. I will braise the them very well and then shred them into large pieces a little over halfway. For Indian dishes cubed breast can be better both texture and flavor wise.

>>17578706
Something where you want lean, dry meat like if your making soup, stuffing it, or shredded for tacos.

>>17578706
Chicken tenders

>>17579580
I agree.

>>17578706
Breast meat is gritty and gross
Thigh meat is fatty and 100x better

>>17579750
don't overcook it

>>17583706
thigh fries well, japanese fried chicken balls are made with thigh meat, for example
