What Is The Best Part of the Chicken?

[Vic Mackey 46919]

Leg for me

[NeverMarryAStripper 21780]

The egg

[Prepuce of Doom 20969]

Chickeneye. 

[immamac 42492]

Thigh - versatile and delicious

[OrangEngr 1034]

The lips

[CooterBrown 17874]

Thigh > wing > breast > leg.

[ztejas 43244]

It's all good. 

[Ten Bears 2478]

Cloaca

Don't judge 

[DougO 5239]

The spicy mayo. LOL

 

I like breasteses and wings, myself. But it depends on where you go if you're talking about take out. They cut them differently.

[TexArcher 37455]

Is this one of those metaphors I keep hearing about?

This!

[RPM 26185]

I like breasts. Wait, what are we talking about?

[SHOOTER12 8787]

Absolutely the thigh.  Has better flavor, seems to take to spices better, all around awesomeness.

[!!!HOTDOGS!!! 31]

Definitely the nugget.

If it's a bucket/ box o' yardbird, I prefer the breast and wing.  If it's cooked in a decent dish, IDGAF if it's thigh or whatever.

love me some chicken... so damned versatile.  Of course straight up fried is my favorite.

Oblig:

[VirginiaLonghorn 4750]

The part of the wing between the drummette and tip.  Perfect proportion of meat and skin.

Then, there’s fried livers and hearts ... hard to pass up with milk gravy.

Thnx to Shoxthemonkey

[Shoxthemonkey 1976]

Yeah, I don't see livers and hearts on his list of choices. Tragic oversight.

[Atxracer 797]

Missing the pulley bone too.  That seems to be my families favorite part.  I don't know why since it's really just the front part of the breast. But, to each their own.

My sister-in-law (nope, no pics) would be very, very disappointed that the Pope's nose isn't on the list.

[956 Worldwide 34313]

If we’re talking a large basic cut and not a morsel, thigh all the way. Stands up to grilling, frying, broiling, roasting, whatever and it’s very hard to dry out. Stands up to spices. More flavor. 
 

The single drawback is that it’s harder to get all the meat off without getting messy and that’s not really a drawback.

[Tom 2959]

Thigh for flavor, followed very closely by the breast for having the most meat.  For most of my life until recently I was a leg guy.  And only serial killers will choose the wing.

1a. Thigh

1b. Breast

3. Leg

4. Wing

Agree 

The wing is a lot of trouble for one small bite of chicken.

[Incredulity 11532]

voted for thigh.  

 

breasts can go either way.  When it's right it can give the thigh a bit of competition, but often ends up dry.

 

full wing and drum buffalo wings slam and go hard.

 Can’t keep fucking that chicken without it. 

[Al_4_ISU 12408]

I fucking love chicken wings, but it's really not because of the chicken.

Fried chicken legs are damn near perfect for ease of consumption for meat on bone.

Thighs and breasts are probably tied for the best quality of meat.

Dad?  Family of 5 growing up in the 70s on one public servant salary.  Mom and older sister each got half a chicken breast, younger sister got the legs, I got the thighs and dad got the wings, neck and back, maybe the wishbone if mom cut up the chicken that way.

Well it’s definitely not the white meat lol. That would just be a ridiculous take

All good answers, but consider the extra crispies at the bottom of Long John Silver's planks.

Amen. Chicken skin grilled on a skewer at a Japanese Izakaya is probably in the top five things I have ever eaten. It sucks that you can't buy all of the skin from all of the skinless chicken sold at HEB (when it's open). I've even looked for it online to have it shipped.

If Mrs. CHIEF stops by Bush's or Chicken Express on the way home, it's 18 gizzards with gravy and a roll, 100% of the time.

I used to eat all the skin off my sister's chicken just to piss her off. 

 

Even now, if I'm cooking thighs, I will eat the skin first and finish the rest later.

[markstanco 12489]

Dark meat if fried or baked.

Chicken express give me livers. Thats a once a year thing. So bad for you.

yes

the japanese somehow added a 4th dimension to the chicken.  simply by grilling tiny chunks of it.  it is amazing.

Damn, you're right. One of my favorite things about the breasteses is the big hunk of skin.

[Brisketexan 104463]

Love me some hearts and gizzards. Fried, of course. But grilled hearts on. Skewer are perfect.

For traditional parts, dark meat. Thigh preferred.
