Of all the meats, chicken is the least offensive flavor-wise. It’s soup is synonymous with being ill, or having difficulty keeping food down. It is basically the water of meat.
Sub-thought: therefore, i shouldn’t eat meat that tastes worse than chicken. That would be like drinking something that tastes worse than water…yuck.
This is solid UnpopularOpinion material. If I get a chicken sandwich from somewhere and it’s dry, I will probably throw away most of it. To me, it’s like eating bad chicken jerky.
My favorite way of having chicken breast is sous vide at 145 for a couple hours. It pasteurizes all of the bacteria and keeps it super juicy. The inside does still have some pink because it’s cooked at a lower temp, and that’s definitely off putting to some, but it doesn’t bother me.
It’s interesting how people can have such differing opinions on things so common like cooked chicken.
Ah. For me, if it’s too dry, yeah, but if it’s just dry enough, that’s perfect. I don’t want to bite into a chicken tomatoe and feel all the “pink” juices coating my mouth.
That’s fair. I like juicy, but there is a texture line where chicken has to be firm enough that’s it’s not like biting into sushi. I still like something with lots of moisture, but I think there’s definitely a difference between juicy and undercooked.
