White meat Chicken and Turkey is inferior to pretty much anything. It's bland, dry and tasteless.
Idc how you cook it. The best you'll get out of me is it's mediocre. Dark meat is superior.
I'd disagree on one count - white meat is better breaded and deep fried. It has a better grain for that, and its lack of flavor is irrelevant.
And I don't dislike white meat in soup or the like, though I do think that dark meat is superior.
In fact, for lunch today I made chicken and rice with a leftover whole chicken that was mostly white meat. I started by boiling it until the meat fell off the bones, then adding spices and vegetables and cooking it down until it was thick, at which point the chicken was in shreds. I like that, but at that point, the chicken isn't so much chicken - it's just protein and a carrier for the spices.
its lack of flavor is irrelevant
Excuse me? No, how it tastes is absolutely relevant.
You're using white meat in a way I could with anything. I could cook a dirty boot in a chicken broth for 13 hrs and it'll taste eatible. (My goofy way to explain what you're attempting to proclaim here.)
I like that, but at that point, the chicken isn't so much chicken
You did get there in the end, tho.
For the first, I think that white meat is in fact superior breaded and deep fried, because flavor really is irrelevant at that point. You don't bread and deep fry something to enjoy the flavor - you bread and deep fry it to make it satisfyingly crunchy and chewy (and use a dip for flavor) and white meat has a better grain for that.
For the second - I'm just saying that though I otherwise agree that dark meat is better, I don't dislike white meat. I guess I felt some need to stick up for it a bit...
Stop saying flavor is irrelevant.
It's a hard stop. If this is somehow not something you can comprehend in terms of food, that we eat, then your opinion isn't even worth reading.
Until you can AT LEAST admit that the flavor of the food we digest is important, then I will stop reading right there and not take your comment seriously.
