   I never buy rotisserie chicken.

 
A lot of people seem to be proud of never buying rotisserie
chicken. I must be one of the few who thinks I should do it more
often. I haven't bought one in years. It just doesn't find our
shopping system.  The times I did buy them they were delicious
and it was cheaper to buy a freshly cook bird than it would be to
buy one and cook it yourself. The cold leftovers are almost
better than the meat was hot.
 
 

I don't buy rotisserie chicken because I'm left with the
thighs which I won't eat.  It would be a waste of money
and food for me to purchase something I won't consume.

 
I'll swap you some drumsticks for them.
 
I often buy thighs, the best part of the chicken.

 
I'll swap the breast for the thighs anytime!

 
Most of the chicken eaten in Hawaii is thighs served as chicken katsu.
It's quite amazing how popular chicken katsu is. The Asians prefer
chicken thighs. Chicken breast is cheaper to buy than thighs in
Japan. I won't speculate on the reasons why that is. Beats me what
the Chinese do with all the surplus chicken breasts - ship it off to
America?
 
OTOH, America's youth aren't interested in ripping chicken flesh off
bones with their teeth. Cane's chicken is strips of chicken breast
fried to order and served hot. It's juicy and delicious - two things
not usually associated with chicken breast. Of course, juicy and
delicious is not something that comes naturally. Hee hee.

I agree, most breast isn't very good on a whole chicken except a
properly rotisseried one can be very juicy indeed.

Everything is relative.  I've had Turkey and Chicken breasts where
everyone raved over how tender the breast was.  I thought it was like
sawdust...
