Is there any serious reason to ever eat chicken breast? The nutritional benefits are negligible compared to the thigh's flavor

Chicken fat is fucking gross and breast has far less fat and connective tissue. Way easier to trim all the fat off a breast.

If you cook in batches, and freeze/refrigerate, thigh gets gross, stinks when reheated. No such problem with breast.

You have to be a fucking idiot to ruin thighs. 165F in a goddamn roasting pan. If you can't do that, don't eat food.

When I make Indian or Thai curry (Jap curry fucking sucks) or like, cacciatore I will always use breasts, but if I just want to eat some chicken with noodles on the side I'll use thighs. I feel like thighs are better alone, while breasts are better at absorbing external flavors and having a nice texture.

Not him, but chicken fat is nice, and has a nice crispy texture to it, if it's cooked on a fire or BBQ. In my opinion, at least. For a roast the thigh is better.

You can stuff breast. You can pound it flat to bread it fry it for superior results. It makes better chicken strips. It works better in some soups, and is better when healing from surgery or pancreatis.

Thighs are good for any recipe where the meat isn't on display; things like stews and tacos. But for anything else thighs are too damn greasy. I was out of breasts to make chicken over rice w/ green onion sauce so I cut up some thighs and cooked them like they were breasts. It was disgusting. Aside from cooking down to too small a size, the thighs had this terrible, greasy texture to them that left a bad feeling in my mouth for like a day after I ate them.

Depends when and where but it's similar here in Canada. Last time I went out it was $12/kg for breasts and $14/kg for thighs. Not a big sample size, but it's a thing.

Thighs a best for anything where fat is needed, either for flavor or to keep it from drying out. Otherwise breast is best: easy to cook, consistent, low fat: it's white meat, plain and boring but also simple.

Having said that, just bought a pack of thighs. Gonna make a ghetto version of the Shawarma chicken meat you get at Lebanese places, with the spit and all.
>stick half a very large onion cut-side down
>penetrate deeply with a wooden skewer to make a pike
>thighs flattened out and trimmed of any really bad gristle, marinated in spices and Greek yoghurt
>impale thighs to make a 300-style pyramid of dead flesh
>cook in oven, low and slow-ish, until the yogurt JUST starts to burn on the outside.
>check your internal temps: adjust if you think it's going to burn the outside before cooking the inside
>let cool for at least a few mins
>shave your flesh tower with a knife
>if so desired, re-apply some (un-tainted) marinade to outside of cuts and throw back in oven for layers and layers of browned goodness.

Throw some garlic sauce on this shit and you'll be selling carpets in the market before you can say "Mashallah brother".

It makes better shredded chicken, good for enchiladas and shredded chicken tacos. other than that, I think thighs win.

taste vs nutritional benefit is a matter of personal preference. I like breasts for when I'm prepping some high protein low fat meals. Plus I'm not really into fatty cuts of chicken unless its in chicken wings.

Not all of us are fat fucks here... if you ever hit the gym, then you’d know that a chicken breast is around 150 cals and 40 grams of protein, it’s a prime source of gains. In other words, quite being a retarded fat fuck, fatty.
