Well, its not so much a question of the chicken part, but the kind of chicken. Braising involves a quick fry, and then slow cooking in liquid to break down the connective tissue and soften tougher meat. If you used a younger bird, a fryer, for example, it would probably fall apart and dissolve. If you used boneless skinless chicken breast, there would absolutely no point to braising it. You want to use chicken on the bone, preferably a larger, older chicken, like a capon or a stewing chicken, and you want to use the bones, the skin, etc. in the braise.
