Chicken thighs > Chicken breastsWhy are chicken breasts so much more popular than thighs, when thighs are clearly better (especially the boneless ones)?>More flavour and more tender>Has fat, which you can render and fry in or just stick in the oven>Don't need to use an oil because of it>Creates a better fond >Way more forgiving to cook, will still be tender or juicy if you overcook it>Responds way better to marinadesIs it because of all the fitness chicken, rice and broccoli bros? Most of the fat from thighs is rendered anyway so the calories/macros end up being the same anyway.
>Is it because of all the fitness chicken, rice and broccoli brosi reckon it's this. as well as middle aged housewives who want to "cook healthy"

Stop telling people or they will go the way of chicken wings. It is probably more popular due to people thinking it's the "healthy" one but I'm not complaining. If people wanna cuck themselves out of the superior choice then that's on them.
>>21802961Look at how triggered this street shitting Indian is
Breast literally is healthier
Protein bro!
>>21802934>Why are chicken breasts so much more popular than thighsBecause they're pure meat. I had so many shitty legs with not meat on but just bones and gristles. With breasts i know what i get.

Because Fatmericans are fat and stupid so they just want what's biggest.

>>21802934Because breast meat is uniform, and can therefore be prepared and eaten more easily. Thighs and legs have bones and multiple muscles which complicate both preparation and eating. Just to take your points one-by-one:>More flavour and more tenderDark and white meat chicken has no perceptible difference in "flavour" - no one is eating wings for the flavor of the meat. The tenderness of thighs only comes into play in longer cooking applications such as braises where the components of the connective tissues are able to break down. For fast cooking methods, "tenderness" is directly correlated to not being overcooked.>Has fat, which you can render and fry in or just stick in the oven>Don't need to use an oil because of itSo what.>Creates a better fondNah.>Way more forgiving to cook, will still be tender or juicy if you overcook itMaybe for something like a braise, but it's going to be the same for any kind of fast cooking method like grilling.>Responds way better to marinadesNah.
If I want a lean protein I'll eat chicken breastsIf I want a tasty protein I'll eat beef or porkChicken thigh is a half-measure that satisfies neither of those needs.
Breasts take almost no time to cook. Like 10 minutes.Thighs take like an hour of prep plus cooking.Plus all the diets cater to fatties wanting to lose weight and encourage lean, and dark meat is less lean.So lazy fatties
>>21802934Breast has more protein by weight and is a boneless piece of meat. Of course it's more expensive. I still prefer thigh though but I'm a fatass
>>21802934Americans prefer dark meat lol
>>21802934Because breasts are a blank canvas that can be freely modified with different arrangements. I personally also LIKE the texture of breasts more. They are also cheaper than thighs.
>>21803735>They are also cheaper than thighs.LolwutYou can get a bag of leg quarters for less than $1/lb
