Chicken thighs vs breast

nice lol. unfortunately, i would not be surprised if some people read this and hold it as truth ;) 

What? A new addition to my weekly menu!  KFC is like 2 miles from my house.

Actually, I ate KFC last week. Ordered a bucket of chicken for the fam and got 1 grilled breast.  I peeled off the skin and ate it.  Easy peasy!  Just have to stay away from those damn biscuits!

Fat is good for you. Going really low carb is good, but going really low dat is not.

Thighs, breast, small of the back, nape of the neck. It's all good.

Hi Chris,

I wish I could feed my dogs chicken, they are allergic to it, so good on you for giving it to your pups!

I personally can't stand thighs, I felt that way pre surgery as well, I will only eat breast meat, skinless, boneless.  My husband loves thighs so I make them on the bbq for him and do up a breast for me or I do the thighs in a chicken curry.  I also eat the Stubbs bbq sauce all the time!!!!!!!!!! I love that stuff. I get the spicy one and its pretty hot so you only need a little bit!  I am 2.5 years post op but I always have used bbq sauce.

Good luck, you can't go wrong with either, chicken is a great protein!

When I was in my losing stage all I ever ate was thigh meat.  I lost about 190 lbs and my cholesterol went way down.  Obviously the thigh meat was no problem for me.   

Both are great at home.  I do tend to look them up if I'm dining out as sometimes breasts are much lower in calories or fat.  However at home we do thighs because they can easily be baked and retain a good amount of juice.  I also like them for the grill or crockpot.  

For myself I avoid sugar if at all possible and put all my calories towards things that are protein forward and that often comes with a good amount of fat.  Fat is our friends, it makes food tasty and it keeps us full.  

Thigh meat is definitely easier to eat post-op than breast, so call this one a WIN

I have always preferred dark meat, and my post-op guts prefer it as well - chicken breast can still be a challenge and I'm more than a year out from surgery. I use BBQ sauce, usually Stubbs spicy because I like the flavor and it's got a lower sugar/carb count than regular storebought BBQ sauces usually do. I throw some thighs and sauce in a crock pot on low all day, then shred it when I get home and eat it with veggies. Reheats really well and super moist so it rarely causes problems.
