Which part of a tasty chicken is your favorite?

If your answer is the dietetic breast, Chrissy Teigen would like a word about your bird.

“Chicken breast is extremely popular for being literally the worst part of a chicken,” the model-turned-cook mused Sunday, inciting a surefire debate (as she is wont to do).

"Sorry guys, I gotta use thighs I cannot give you food at 50%," she wrote. The results? Well, somehow her subsequent Monday stir fry became hilariously NSFW.

All's well that woks well.
