Joel gave me an idea for a new discussion question.
Do you choose to cook with breasts or thighs and why?
Is that an exclusive preference?
How do you feel about wings and drum sticks?
I cook with all parts except wings. They're too fiddly to eat, for me.
DH prefers dark meat so I often roast thighs. Sometimes I roast bone-in skin-on breasts for lunch meat. I use boneless skinless breasts for quick-cooking dishes. I don't mind drumsticks, and DH loves them, so I make them occasionally, but I'm not crazy about all the connective tissue. I do save the bones and tendons for stock, though.
When I buy a whole chicken, the backs and wing tips go to stock.
