177 calories per 100 grams compared to 165 calories in chicken breast. Higher in fat, but fat is on-trend lately. Love my grilled chicken breasts, but have been enjoying thighs lately too. What's your favorite cut of chicken?

    Funny you mention this, I've been trending towards the boneless skinless thighs lately too. I was often eating too few calories and fat so this helped get me there without being crazy overboard. They taste so damn delicious grilled too! Make plenty for leftovers and use them for buffalo wraps and quesadillas for quick on the go options.

    Love the breast for less calories and the thighs for full flavor and wings...well who doesn't love wings! I like to shake it up so I don't get bored!

    I favor boneless chicken thighs also. They have much more flavor than chicken breasts.

    Amen. Chicken breast is best in salad, wraps, etc. The thigh is great grilled and in tacos, nachos, pizza. :#

    They're so on trend over here at the moment, that they're more expensive than breast for the first time ever.

    Try using chicken thighs instead of breast for Chicken Parmesan. They are godly.

    I like normal chicken thighs. I eat the skin and bone after it's cooked in a crockpot several days. I also like the drumsticks.

    The SKIN! Removed from the meat after cooking the whole bird and laid out on a baking tray and put back in the oven for an extra ten minutes while carving. MELTINGLY CRISPY.

    Looove chicken thighs. They're cheaper than breasts and way more flavourful and moist.

    I use them skinless and cut them up for curries and casseroles. And I just bake the skin-on thighs with a bit of salt and pepper and eat them as is - I love the crispy skin!

    I don't think there's any (muscle) part of the chicken I don't like lol. Long as it is cooked to be juicy and tender, not dry.... It somewhat depends on if it's intended for a particular recipe which part I would pick. Yeah, never met a chicken I didn't like. XD

    Prepped, sliced, sauteed in butter, with salt & pepper. Preferably served on those toothpicks with the tasseled plastic tops like it's a fancy 1970s/80s hors d'oeuvre.

    My college roommate LOVED gizzards. She loved them like I Ioved baking powder biscuits with butter and honey.

    We were chubby at that time. lol
