Why Chicken is So Popular
This is such a versatile ingredient and you can use the breast or thighs. The breast tends to be leaner and it is easy to dry out if you cook it too long, which is why the thighs are good for novice cooks who might be unsure about the cooking times. When the meat is white all the way through it is done and any further cooking is just going to dry it out.
