Got popeyes this afternoon and accidentally forgot to upgrade the meal with white instead of dark. However, I was pleasantly surprised the flavor was better and less dryer than a breast piece.

Now if you will excuse me I'll go be fat somewhere else.

You've taken your first step into a larger world.

Dark meat is always better.

Yes, it has always tasted better. White meat is a white person (yankee?) thing.

Chicken thighs are all around better than breasts. Not just for frying. Grilling, baking, whatever. They're juicier, more flavorful, and cheaper.

God made part of the chicken meat dark so that fat people would still enjoy eating part of it.

I believe our resident authority, Chiken, has expressed her strong preference for white meat; interesting as I have a preference for brown meat.
Anyway, breasts can be dry, but if they're still lactating moisture shouldn't be a problem.

Yes, dark meat chicken sucks far less than white meat chicken.

Not always. Back in the day, chickens took longer to raise, and dark meat used to have a much stronger flavor and the breast of yesteryear tasted like the thighs of today.

I even use boneless, skinless thighs, when I can find them, for stir frys, chicken tacos, etc. Thighs are where it's at, baby!

Yes, hunny. The thighs get a lot more exercise than the breast.

Chickens should have 10 wings and no legs.

Chicken breasts are generally flavorless and terrible.

Some wisdom my older brother once imparted to me; All chicken is good, but some chicken is better than others.

I mean sometimes you don't just want the best flavor but also ample portions.

I get it, the white meat is better for you. But there is no denying the dark meat tastes better and is typically less dry.

White meat would be better if people only cooked it to 150F instead of overcooking it to 165F.

If we're talking poultry, only white meat. I'm not a savage.

This x a billion. Over-cooked poultry (and pork) make Goose very, very sad.

White meat isn't better for you. That is the low fat myth that has been proven wrong. Eat all the dark meat you want, it tastes better as well.


My eyes have been opened. Time to start living life.
