I use the carcass the same way. Boil it for 3 hours or so with some carrots, celery, onions, and bay leaves, and you get a hell of a good broth.

Depends.
Fried....white.
Breast stays juicy when fried, and I really don't like maneuvering around the bones in thighs.
I love some boneless thighs though. I can't believe they are so much cheaper than breasts. Other than for grilled chicken salads, I use them for most grilled applications where most would go with breast.
Grilled thighs make amazing tacos.
Speaking of chicken tacos, I absolutely loathe shredded chicken breast. There are many many cuts of meat that are great shredded, but chicken breast is not one of them. You can drown it in all the sauce you like but it still won't cover up the fact that you over cooked a piece of meat that gets really dry when it's over cooked. And god knows how long it continues to over cook simmering in sauce.
It's like eating chicken flavored rubber bands.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but, yeah.... It's not a taco without red taco sauce and well that's just nasty on non red meat.

No bubbles have been burst:
A taco (/ˈtɑːkoʊ/) is a traditional Mexican dish composed of a corn or wheat tortilla folded or rolled around a filling. A taco can be made with a variety of fillings, including beef, pork, chicken, seafood, vegetables and cheese, allowing for great versatility and variety.

Agree. On thanksgiving I'm only eating white meat with gravy/potatoes included with each bite.

That's why I brine and then cook slow and low. The white meat is so juicy its stoopid.

She probably did a pork loin. THey are extremely difficult to cook well. Next time get a shoulder (picnic/boston butt) or fresh ham (really the butt). Those are about impossible to #### up if you can manage to get them into the oven,.

Generally, white pork is over done. The gods have declared that pork on the pink side ain't gonna kill you.
