Usually our meatloaf has enough chili sauce on top not to need ketchup. I cant think of anything I'd put just ketchup on. I'll use it in sauces and such but it needs some vinegar to cut the sweetness. |

I'm with Ferris... gimme a thigh or wing. I mean, chicken breast can be good, but it takes a little talent to get 'em right. The health benefits are negligible compared to dark meat but the cooking is not. That is the issue with breast meat. It is easily overcooked and becomes dry. You got to brine and use a meat thermometer. You can overcook dark meat and it will be fine due to the higher fat content. |

Last couple of years I've started slicing the breasts lengthwise instead of cooking whole. Always had a problem cooking the breasts uniformly so one portion isn't dry and the other pinkish.
Over at a guy's house one night and he was doing that. I asked why and he used to have issues. By decreasing the thickness you can cook more uniformly and quicker. On a hot grill I'll do cut breasts for about 3-4 minutes per side if that. With a thermometer I'll pull them around 150/155F and let them rest a few minutes or cut at the thickest point looking for white with juices running.
Thighs are the bomb though.

It's because we love fat, it is in our DNA or something.
And regarding ketchup or catsup, the only thing catsup is good for is french fries and hash browns. I use chili sauce or BBQ sauce on meatloaf.

Wife highly prefers chicken thighs to breasts, but I like the breast. I am careful to pull the breast once it hits around 152 degrees and then let them rest for a bit, to get closer to the 160 mark. Both of these were juicy, but I agree that dark meat is much more forgiving.

The only problem with datils is that you cant take a dump in an outhouse.
You have to have a regular commode that you can lift the ring on, drop your butt down in the water, work the flushing handle with your elbow so you have flowing water while you drop a turd.

Some datil sauces are hotter than others, you might need to blend yours with a little ketchup. Lol

Chicken thighs are my favorite too.
I like the curb store Cajun Krispy chicken. We have one about a mile from the house.

Brine them for 24 hours and then bake, grill, or fry. It will change your mind about chicken breasts. Thighs are preferred. Yup!! Dark meat!! Once ya go black you'll never go back. |

I have started butterflying chicken breast, more surface area to absorb marinade, cooks evenly.

The breats can only absorb minimal marinade(s). Your "dark" meats will take and "hold" marinades much better.
To me , even if it's cooked perfectly or slightly undecooked, breasts are to dry with less flavor.

Grilled Salmon, roasted Brussel Sprouts, and threw the leftover steam cauliflower, from a couple days ago, on the grill to char up a bit. Tasty.
