Breast Vs Thigh

[Sgt Asstossa]

Do chicken thighs have the same amount of protein as the breast? Are they a substitute for breast meat?

Cause there a helluva lot cheaper!!

Thoughts anyone?

Meat is meat. Protein and fat. Amino acid profiles vary. The thighs will have more fat than breast meat, and they don't taste as good. If you can live with that then go for it.

Actually, some people like the thighs better. Since they're a dark meat, they have slightly more iron available than white meat. I'd marinate them and then broil or grill them.
