To each their own?
I got on the thigh bandwagon myself, stocking my freezer with boneless skinless thighs, throwing them into my slow cooker and reveling in their capacity to retain moistness after hours of simmering. "I'm really into chicken thighs now!" I'd say to my friends. "They're so flavorful. And cheaper!"
But in the back of my mind I knew the real reason I had thrown chicken breasts under the bus. They'd turned passé. Lame."'Breast' is a dirty word now," my colleague David noted. He's right. Boring old chicken breasts have no place in a time when words like "offal" and "locavore" fall so casually out of people's mouths. Chicken breasts are the straight-legged, medium-blue jeans of the food world.
Well forget that. Today, I'm putting on my comfy jeans and owning my love of the chicken breast. Because you know what? Sometimes the fattiness of chicken thighs is a turn-off. Sometimes I want to eat something—yes, I'll say it—sort of bland.Yes, yes, I love a pan-roasted chicken thigh as much as the next person. But there’s nothing like a chicken breast that’s been pounded thin, dipped in flour or breadcrumbs, and then pan-fried in olive oil and butter until crispy and golden brown.
