Inspired by the "Taste of Houston" thread. When you're eating chicken, what "parts" do you prefer? Which is it, white or dark meat, for you? Call me a honky, but I have to say that dark meat kinda grosses me out. The day McDonalds switched to all-white meat McNuggets was a great day for junk food.
I love dark meat, i guess cause its not as dry as white. I do like McDo's white chicken nugs, but didnt really taste a difference to me
ALLLLLL meat...I'm a meat-tarian...while I do lean more towards white meat, I love a good drumstick or Turkey leg.
If the restaurant makes the chicken dry, the dark meat is great. All the flavors get trapped inside. I used to love white meat exclusively, but too many dry experiences and bad skins made me switch to the dark side.
Dark meat is tastier, white meat has more protein. Depends on the mood...if you want good eats, go with dark. If you want to build some muscle, go with white.
I cannot stand dark meat. It's just slimy and weird. White chicken is good, but it had better all come from the same part of the same chicken. (none of that compressed chicken particle board - Ken Hoffman called it "several chickens fighting", for example, within the same nugget) I don't have to have meat in the first place.
As a kid getting McNuggets at McDonalds I used to break each of them open and see if they were white or dark and refuse to eat the white meat ones cause I thought they tasted nasty... DARK MEAT GOOO!
I did the opposite. The dark meat ones at McDonalds are the ones that have all parts of the chicken mixed in there...its gross.
If I have the choice, White meat. If someone else is serving me a meal they prepared, I'll eat whatever they serve me out of respect for the chef. And I don't eat chicken nuggets - that's a rule.
Dark meat is better if it is cooked correctly. Have you ever had halal or kosher dark meat chicken? That stuff is good.
Too right. Of course, for all my complaining about mixing dark meat with white, what's my favorite restaurant in the world? James Coney Island. I'm pretty sure they have more than two kinds of meat in their....uh... meat.
