Not if it's cooked right.
Try this. (pre heat oven to 350 )
Dump a roll of ritz crackers in a ziplock bag, close bag and crush (roll w/ pin) Leave breasts whole or cut in strips.
In another bag put 1/2 cup of mayo.
Throw some chicken in the mayo bag and squish around, then using tongs, pick the chicken out and put it in the bag of crushed crackers, coat and place on sprayed pan.
Cook for about 20 minutes for strips and 30 minutes for whole breast.

It's really really good! Soft tender and juicy.

hmmm.. i like drumsticks.. andd the chicken breast.. munchies anyone =]

I'm a breast man.

I like thighs - the skin is lovely and crunchy, nice and moist meat, tasty white meat and darker meat - cant go wrong!

I agree, though the rarely well cooked breast is my real favorite. i stiil voted drumstick since they're usually good.

breast and wingggggg

it really depends on what it's being used in and how it's cooked....

baked - thigh
fried - drumstick/breast
mixed into other foods (chicken helper, tacos, burritos, pizza) it has to be breast.

only way i'll bother with wings is if they're buffalo wings... otherwise it's like pointless... especialy if it's fried.

I will say my 2 favorite preparations of chicken:

Thighs, marinated in Chinese cooking wine, ginger, basil, lime juice, lemon grass, red curry paste, and garlic, then beaten into strips, skewered, and barbequed

Livers, cooked in butter and white wine, with sage, onions, white pepper, and a touch of lemon, blended into pate and served with tarragon pickles, capers, raw purple onions, and crusty bread.

Why aren't 'beaks and assholes' [mechanically separated chicken parts] a part of your poll?

the breast for sure when it comes to fried and baked

the drumstick for when i feel like making them hot and spicy mmmm mmm
