Pick the cut that fits your goal. If you want lower calories and higher protein per ounce for weight control or post-workout meals, choose chicken breast. If you want richer flavor, more iron and zinc, and meals that keep you full longer, choose thighs. Both cuts are healthy. Breast works well for lean, protein-focused meals,…

For juicier, more tender bone-in thighs, pull them at about 175–185°F (79–85°C). Boneless thighs can be removed closer to 165–170°F. Use an instant-read thermometer in the thickest part, avoiding bone,…
