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...

I knew a woman who gave me the impression she was a real foodie. She
hated chicken breast because he was  dry tough and flavourless. I tried
to tell her she was overcooking it. There is that small window of
doneness for chicken. A few minutes too little and it was underdone, a
few minutes too long and it is dry and  bland. Legs, OTOH can withstand
a lot of extra cooking time and just get better and better.

Chicken breast can be quite good - you just have to know how to cook
them. I've cooked leg quarters in a rotisserie. The thighs and legs come
out better if you roast them still together. These were done on a Ronco
unit.
