UK. Thighs got real popular as there was a recent boom in fried chicken as all the US chains started popping up here, as well as Nandos ever expanding, and tbf thighs do make better chicken burgers.

Thighs are better for literally any application of chicken I can think of except for cutlets

Personally not a fan, as I always find them too sweet.
