I am going to start making my own chicken breasts at home. Any advice or brands to use/avoid?
...
Best advice I can think of is twofold:
-factory farmed chicken breast is very lacking in flavor. I'd suggest cooking legs instead--they are much tastier, and they are easier to cook. But if you insist on breast see if you can get chicken from an Asian market, like Vikon or "Buddhist" chicken; that is free ranged and tastes a lot better than supermarket chicken.
-As for cooking your chicken breast, make damn sure you don't overcook it. Use a thermometer if you're a noob. There's a fine line between properly cooked and overcooked-and-dry-as-fuck.
I love chicken but I am scared as fuck to undercook it so I most certainly always overcook.
And I don't the whole breast is dry meme. I eat plenty of chicken, mostly breats and it is never dry or lacking in flavor. Of course i marinate / season heavily.
MArinate boneless, skinless chicken breasts in italian dressing overnight. Grill them. Cut into bite sized chunks go great in baked potato or on a salad.

Sounds like the meat itself is very lacking in flavor, hence the need for strong marinades and/or seasonings.
If you have good chicken (read: not factory farmed) it will be fucking delicious without those steps.

Fuck that shit. Unless you're trying to become Zyzz 0.5 there is no fucking point in eating that bland shit. Sure you can season the fuck out of it but it's still a pretty boring piece of meat. I'll take thighs any day of the week over the tasteless tit meat.

Are you super white? I eat all my food with plenty of seasoning because I like flavor.
