    When I was a meat eater, it was exclusively white meat.

    Dark meat scared me... wierd consistency and taste.

    My favorite part of the Chicken is the Drumstick and thigh.

    That's dark meat right?

    White meat for stir-fry & broiled.
    Dark meat for fried and roasted.

    If it's fried, my favorite is the wing.

    If it's bbq'd, gotta go with the thigh.

    I voted white, because I love grilled chicken breast as well.

    A little off topic, but am I the only one that's getting pissed off at KFC's new "Boneless Buffalo Wings"?

    They advertise them as all-white meat wings.

    White meat=Breast meat.
    Dark meat=Wings.

    They should just call them "Buffalo Flavored Chicken Breast Parts."

    I think it'd be a better seller.

    Shouldn't KFC just call their entire product "fried pseudo-chicken"?

    Huh? Wings are white meat.

    You do realize that Buffalo wings are not from real buffalos. ;)

    Wings, thighs, and legs are dark meat. How do you not know this?

    Tell you what: Next time you get fried chicken, ask for a three piece dark meat platter. You will get a thigh, a wing, and a leg.

    And when you order all white meat, you get wings as well.

    It would certainly make sense that the wings should be dark meat, but it does not have the same texture and taste as the leg. I guess that's what I get for going to the KFC school for learning your parts by the meal.

    Maybe the wing is a hybrid.:eek:

    Dark meat gets dark from all the work those muscles do, that is why legs, thighs and wings are dark meat. Legs can produce white meat if the chicken is grown in one of those warehouses where the chicken basically spends its life in a shoebox sized cage, but a free range chick will always have dark meat on the leg. I know that there are different definitions of what free range means, but I'm talking about a bird that actually got to spread its legs once and a while.
