To not get chicken thighs?

[LemonQuiche]

I’m an unfussy eater, like pretty much everything but I just don’t get why so many chefs recommend using chicken thighs.

I get that breasts can dry out easily but thighs have an odd texture that doesn’t sit well with me. Surely breast is best, to borrow a phrase?

Maybe it’s a personal preference but does anyone agree?

If dishes go right with thigh, they are really tasty. If they don't go quite right, they're vile.

Breast is safer.

No, thighs have much more flavour. Chicken breasts are like Mother's Pride. Chicken thighs are like homemade wholemeal.

It’s personal preference I suppose. To me, breast is dry and tasteless. Boneless thighs are juicy and flavoursome. Depends how they’re cooked also! On skewers in the oven/air fryer then added to a curry they’re gorgeous. Lovely in the slow cooker too, just call to bits.

I find using a meat thermometer helps me to truly believe they are cooked through, then psychologically the texture is much nicer and I enjoy all the extra flavour. If I'm in any doubt that they're cooked through, the texture feels off.

Thigh is far tastier, as well as not drying out.

I think thighs need long slow cooking, then they're delicious.

Depends what you're cooking. Sometimes chicken breast is nice, sometimes it's dry and not nice compared to the chicken thigh cooked in the same way.

I agree with this, totally depends on the dish! I enjoy both. I think there is a bit of snobbery around chicken breasts being seen as unadventurous and safe, which I think is bollocks personally.

I like both but thighs have the edge for me, I like the texture better and flavour. But depends on the dish.

Dark meat all the way

I don’t cook thighs usually as DH is complaining that they are too fatty, I cook drumsticks - they are my favourites.

Slimy and sinewy. No thanks.

Thighs are gross. They have veins and slithery stuff in them.

To my foodie husband’s chagrin, I hate chicken thighs. I find them slimy and revolting.

I love all the brown meat.

Breasts can be nice if sufficiently juicy but so many people dry them out.

Not good quality butchers own, skinless and boneless.

for decades chicken breasts were the dominant chicken cut. it's time for thighs to have their moment in the sun.

but the skin is delicious and the bone gives extra flavour.

No I can't stomach the taste of them.

Thighs all the way for everyone in our family. I do eat breast as well though. Just definitely prefer thighs. Most people I know prefer thighs .

Don't cook chicken in the sun. Oven is best.

I really hate chicken thighs, I find them quite slimy. I much prefer the firmer meat of chicken breast.

Scraggy things, I hate them

I'm with @SisterAgatha and @MasterBeth all the way on this one. Thighs are where's it at.

I've tried various dishes using them but the texture puts me right off
