I have a good friend who cooked competitively through most of the 90's. As he has related to me, there is sort of a cycle to the chicken piece de jour. When he first began competing, breasts were the prevailing cut, by the time he quit competing in the late 90's, legs were in, when I got interested in the hobby 2 yrs ago thighs were "it" and continue to be the most widely submitted. I imagine another shift will come around and it might be breasts again or half birds or what ever.

I cook what I think I can make best, and for me that's breasts. Do more thighs win now, well maybe, but more people turn them in.
Cook what you're comfortable and confident with.
