I chain stitch all the time, it's a good habit. Use a scrap for beginning your chaining and a scrap for ending your chaining.
From my experience, when chain piecing leave at least 1/8" or smaller end tails between the unit pieces that way when you're done chaining/piecing, clip the threads centered on your units this way the units are uniform & they will not ravel or come undone.
