Are you a team boneless chicken breast or chicken thigh? Honestly, I love both of them. I mean if know the right way of cooking it, both taste great. Many might disagree with me and tell chicken thigh is always better. It is absolutely true, but with a good marination and right cooking time, chicken breast can also be juicy and tender. My preference differs, depending on the recipe.
