The Great Chicken Debate. 

Joey is like Switzerland in every war. Sure they will take a side, but they always stay far away from the battlefield.

"You're the reason flat-earthers exist" holy SHIT Garnt.

imagine not being able to tell the difference between light meat and dark meat omg man i feel for Garnt i really really do

Connor: "Chicken thighs taste the same as chicken breasts!" In every argument, I pride myself in being able to understand the stances of both sides even if I don't agree with one of them. I can't fucking do that for this one. Do the blind taste test on the next episode and you'll see Garnt's right.

What we expected when Trash Taste was announced: heated debates over manga, anime, and best girl What we got: heated debates over burgers, chicken, and hentai preferences

I dare say, this might surpass "The Great Burger Debate" as the best Trash Taste moment.

"I didn't think freedom of speech was a mistake until I heard you speak" LMAO

This podcast genuinely infuriates me sometimes. Now I'm feeling compelled to defend Mr. anti-pizza-crust over here.

Can I just say, Joey is the true menace in my eyes. Disagreed with Connor about Hamburgers, "Steak is Mid," Disagreed with Grant about Bacon, thinks fat has no flavor, and now this. Man must be stopped

My problem isn't boneless vs bone cause everyone has their preference... my problem is with the trash take on all parts of a chicken tastes the same.

How the hell can Joey and Connor not tell the difference between chicken breast and chicken thigh?! The texture and flavour are totally different.

_"If argue with an idiot they'll just pull you down to their level and beat you with experience."_ Did he came up with this on the spot? Because that is brilliant.

Conner: Boneless chicken Garnt: chicken with bone *Civil War*

Just saying Joey was not neutral in this argument, he literally takes a side in the first 10 seconds He is not being sidelined here

13:00 Honestly, this is the most Garnt has ever made me laugh. I’m going to use that line.

I am 10000% agreeing with Garnt - the breast being good is SO dependent on how you cook it/who’s cooking it and literally there is a difference in the muscles of white vs dark meat. Also hearing “all the parts of the chicken taste the same” made me so irrationally/viscerally mad

this one will go on trash taste history as the most heated debate ever

I eat chicken almost on a Monthly basis for 20 years and garnt is objectively right, chicken thighs and wings are objectively the juicier amd more tender part. But he cannot properly formulate his argument to save his life lmao

I died when they said that all chicken meat tastes the same. Even my asian parents screamed at this watch along with me.

The name of this podcast is becoming more and more literal. Oh yeah, I'm joining Garnt's side in the poultry civil war.

We need a cooking competition special or something food-related for all the chaos.

I'm with Garnt on this one. The fact that Joey and Connor think that the absolute driest part of the chicken is the best part does it for me.

i remember first hearing this episode and was blown away with how much they agreed with each other all episode and then it ended with their most heated argument in the whole series so far

I can't believe im defending a guy who said "all bread tastes the same", but garnt's right, chicken with bone is definitely the way to go

This fucking hilarious. I agree completely with Garnt, I mean, we pretty much (I’m Indian) all use thighs in our curry because of the flavor. So at the beginning, I was just as indignant as him. But over the course of the argument I just felt myself sink down to Joey’s energy level and just sit back and marvel and these grown men arguing about chicken.

The irony of Connor calling Garnt a clown lmao

I love connor. I have never disagreed with a food take from him as much as I disagree with this. Like, it mildly makes me hate myself and all life on earth. Sweet jesus. Man actually knows nothing about how flavor happens. As rare as it is when it comes to food, Garnt is just correct.

Trash taste upholding their name. Their biggest arguments almost always pertain to food and I love it.

Connor compared chicken wings to chicken breast and all my faith in him just disappeared. 😭

I can’t believe I’m about to say this, but I’m gonna have to agree with Garnt on this one. I cook, and with poultry brining make a world of difference. A well brined chicken won’t need to be covered in sauce to taste good. Matter in fact I consider food covered in sauce lazy. Garnt was also right about white meat and dark meat. Dark meat is more forgiving due to the higher fat content. Fat = flavor and moisture . Lack of fat = lack of flavor/easier to dry… unless you brine it. Lastly, “boneless wings” are bullshit. They are sauce nugs. If I want wings, I’ll take them brined, no batter and sauce on the side. Air fried chicken wings are amazing. If I wanted fried white meat I’ll get chicken tender or chicken strip. Edit: nice.

Google: Thigh/dark meat. Has more myoglobin, has more nutrients. Connor: Thigh is the worst tasting chicken meat. Also Connor: Steaks are great.

Podcast listener here. Making my way thru the episodes rn and when I heard this argument unfolding, I had to search this up on yt just to see it all play out lmao. Glad it was clipped!

This is a historic Trash Taste moment, not because of how heated they got but because this is the first time that Garnts food take was actually correct

Connor lost me when he said that the breast is the best part of the chicken "Connor knows breast" has never been more wrong

I love the fact that they can argue with each other when each person is talking about something different. Garnt here is arguing Joey’s take that all chicken tastes the same. Connor is arguing Garnt’s take on bone-in chicken. And, Joey is just arguing with everyone, even the camera man

Connor finally made an enemy to the entire society. His Quote: "The thighs taste worst!" Me: 🤯😡🤬

Connor has never cooked a day in his life lol

Even though I'm a boneless kinda guy I think garnt had a much more constructive argument. While Connor just blindly charged in true moke fashion

The next trash taste special should be a cooking show of every food debate they ever had and we just watch them fail every single one.

It's ironic. That Joey was on Garnt's side on the Burger debate. Now, he's on Connor's side with the chicken debate. 😂

i love how they don't know how chicken works but are still so passionate

I'm backing Grant here. Clearly he is the only true Asian here

5:36 I've never heard someone say something wrong with such confidence

Connor yelling “THINK!” to Garnt during the last few minutes has got to be one of the greatest things he’s ever said. 🤣🤣🤣

4:00 - 4:25 This is the moment when you know that Grant Master knows how to cook while Monke doesnt.

Garnt has the better food taste this time? Heresy!

*"All chicken tastes the same"* The pain this brings me is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

I'm going to give this one to Garnt. I didn't notice it before and used to love chicken legs, but when I attended culinary school years ago, the chefs made us taste thighs, wings, breasts and legs and in various ways of cooking them...there is definitely a difference in taste depending on which part of the chicken it is. I much prefer breasts, wings or thighs to legs. The difference is subtle but most noticeable with the legs vs breasts. 😅

Is the bone-in debate the same as dark vs. white? If so, Garnt is 100% objectively right. The cellular and fat composition between white and dark meat is different thus giving dark meat more flavour and juiciness. The texture is also different. This is why I like my local Korean Fried Chicken place. Their boneless is still dark meat so you have the cleanliness of not having bones but the better taste from the dark meat.

Garnt is actually right, chicken breast has a tendency to dry when its cooked, the part of the chicken that stays moist is thighs.

Connor really brought Garnt down to his level of monkeness and beat the hell out of him there.

Probably the most entertaining debate so far.

I was watching this alongside my usually quiet and composed friend on Discord and they were just screaming telling me they were losing braincells because the boys don't know anything about meat. Probably my favorite moment yet.

Holy shit, I can’t believe I’m siding with condiment-phobe Garnt.

this be one of those time when I want a flip a table because of Conners and Joeys hot takes and Garnt not able to say it's dark meat(even moisture time even when over cook) and white meat for chicken. Also every time they have the food talk I comeback and wonder, do they even cook for themselves

5:39 Man said that like he was waiting to disagree with Connor for ages!! 😂😂

Alternate title: *Garnt solos Connor and Joey, low diff*

I feel like I dont have to be frustrated because Garnt is representing my stress and frustration right there

21 mins of straight up arguing in the highlights channel doesn’t get any better than that

Can't wait to see the animated version of this.

Never heard people argue so passionately about chicken.

I’m with Garnt on this one

This is the best trash taste debate about chicken muscle part just really made my day 🤣😅💯

This has already qualified for "The most heated argument on Trash Taste."

Only southeast ASIAN can relate to Garnt. I agree with him on all the reasons - Bone have more moisture - Brest is dry and tastless Mony others reason

Have to agree with Garnt there, both personally and scientifically. Just prep the chicken and cook it with the same technique and you will get different flavour as chicken breast is much leaner and tends to dry out much faster than chicken legs~

Breasts and thighs are both muscles, literally the entire thing is a chicken muscle. Breasts are leaner meaning there’s less fat on them, thighs are juicier and have more flavor bc they have more fat on them than breasts. This is to Conor specifically: the entire breast is a muscle, just like thighs. There are strands of fat and tissue in between muscle strands which make up the entire muscle just like our muscles

Must be hard for Garnt to spend so many hours in the Circus with these clowns 🤡

13:35 Connor : What are you saying? Garnt : Oh My God!!!! Monkey vs Monk

Connor confirmed his tastebuds are defunct

Connor: We are both wrong. That was definitely the most correct point of the entire episode

I just spent 21 minutes listening to 3 grown ass man argue about chicken and I enjoyed it

Do it like a real man like my grandpa did when he was still alive. The mad man just straight up left NOTHING on his plate and ate the bones too xD

Garnt is the sane one here. True chicken connoisseur. Joey and Connor got no taste buds. Bone in tastes way better. Also chicken breast will never be the best chicken part regardless how nice you cook it.

Joey is a simple man. He thinks it all tastes the same. Reminds me of that Mr. Incredible meme. "Chicken is chicken!" XD

"All chicken tastes the same" now that's a load of bull, no it doesn't I agree with Grant on this one

I am a vegetarian and this debate is completely beeps and boops for me but Dare I say it's enticing. I don't understand any side of the argument but I love the debate.

Huh, I didn’t know Joey and Connor graduated from clown college.

Omg, this has been my favorite trash taste video

Garnt's what at 15:26 is just gold.

The flavor is not the same for every part of the chicken. The bone does make a difference but I can’t say it’s better.

Looking at that time, knowing how fired the Great Burger Debate of 2020 was, I can already tell this will go down in Trash Taste history, and we are here to witness it unfold.

You know it's a good friendship when they have debates like this and acknowledge that they were both idiots and that they still have their differences and still show it and that the friendship survived this.

I eat both but I typically buy boneless chicken breast because it's easier to eat and I don't want to create a mess at my desk at work. However I'll have to side with garnt, he is definitely right on this one haha. I don't know wtf Conner and Joey are talking about, every part of the chicken most certainly does not taste the same. It's kind of funny how Joey takes the wrong side on like every argument lol.

Keep in mind folks, they tend to live up to their podcast name

The fact that this is the longest video on Trash Taste Highlights proves how grand this one debate is.

Garnt is actually not wrong with some of his arguments. Chicken breast is less moist then chicken legs/wings. The breast is the driest part. It is possible to counteract that, but that doesn't change that it has less moisture generally. In addition, depending on where you eat boneless chicken, it was either shredded and then pressed, or they use chemicals to remove the bone. Both affect the natural flavour (for some, not for everyone). And joeys "all chicken tasts the same" and connors "all parts of the chicken taste the same" are just wrong as general statements. It might be true for them, but that says more about their taste buds than the meat at this point

I'm new to the podcast, and it's hilarious watching this straight after the highlight about pizza crusts. Garnt redeems himself here!

I can't believe these dudes just said boneless is different than chicken nuggets lol.

Connor's and Joey's opinions on this make me feel like a gourmet.

This is one of the greatest debates EVER

I’ve never been so stressed watching a trash taste highlight

Also: this is the culinary equivalent of a scientist trying to sit through a flat-earther symposium.

"the breast is the best part..." I'm sorry what?! Hell no, there are so many different cuts to chicken. I prefer the thighs and legs but they're most definitely a difference in taste and moister.

As a cook, bones in the chicken does provide more flavor but not under fast food level cooking times. The reason why you make stocks (soup bases) with bones and scrap meat, is because it is scrap and using it is better than throwing it out. You can make a more flavorful stock if you use whole meat, however that would be super expensive and wasteful.

Yeah Gigguk and I had a collective aneurysm

i’m surprised garnt has the right chicken take this time

Its funny to see them all aruge when they each get stuff wrong. Though the main point is Connor being monke bone has flavor, but then Garnt saying all breast is dry.

This is truly Connor's most Caucasoid moment.

I'm in between here. I get it, I have moments sometimes where I want to relieve myself of the labor of deboning a chicken, but other times I want the chicken with the bone for 2 reasons: One, the process of deboning a chicken, even though I skip it sometimes, when I don't skip it, It's a part of a meal. You deboned it, and you get to eat it, and it makes it taste so much sweeter. It's the process, it's just the process. The second reason is because the flavor of the bone.
