This discussion has probably been used before, but I have not seen it.
We grilled out tonight. We grilled chicken breast. It was a little dry. It had good flavor, but dry. I prefer the thigh of a chicken. To me, it has better flavor than all of the other pieces of chicken. When I make a casserole using chicken, I use the breast. I think it has more 'staying' power. But for anything else, I love my chicken thighs.
Which do you prefer, white or dark meat of the chicken? Why is this your preference?

I just think that dark meat has a better texture. Maybe because of the cut?

If i have the choice i will always go for the white meat i think its much more tender than the dark.Im not really into bones too much so thats why the dark meat doesnt maybe appeal to me too much.But my sister just loves the dark meat and she loves to pick it all from the bones ,she says it is far tastier.

i always thought i just liked white meat until recently when i learned to really enjoy the drumsticks of chicken. they are moist and really kind of fun to eat. although i do like white meat it can be very dry at times. chicken and turkey can be so versatile though and used in so many ways and in so many recipes.

We have chicken a few nights a week. I have learned so many ways to fix it.

I prefer the dark meat. Just seems more tender and flavorful to me. Especially the drumsticks. They are yummy.

I prefer the dark meat for the mail reason that the white meat is usually really dry and their is not much taste to it. The dark meat is always really moist and usually has a great taste. The white meat is better for your health that is probaly why I like the dark meat better.

The white meat is lower in fat than the dark meat of the chicken but the dark meat is higher in iron an important nutrients for a healthy body. So , I love both as long as our intake is base on the required daily amount of protein our body needs.
