White meat chicken isn't my favorite, I prefer thighs and drumsticks but
sometimes I do cook chicken breast halves or cutlets. It really depends
on the recipe. Sometimes they're interchangeable but not always. BTW,
I have no idea whether or not Gary can cook chicken (or brew coffee).
Mostly the only time I hear him talk about cooking chicken is when he's
making stock in his crock pot.
