White meat vs dark meat debate

thigh
wing
leg
breast in that order.

almost always use dark meat in gumbo or jambalaya.

Dark meat is for the hoi polloi.

They each have their place.

At some point in my life I realized a chicken breast is no match for a thigh.

That bite into that little corner of a spicy popeyes thigh.. you get the fat juices, the spice of the chicken, the crunch of the skin.. a better bite does not exist

There is no debate. Dark meat is superior in flavor. Not even close.

Yup. Not sure who can DV that.

Dark meat. White meat is as dry as popcorn farts.

I'm 43 and just learned a couple of years ago that wings are actually considered white meat. Shocked me.

If I'm cooking a chicken dish, it's thighs all day long.
If I'm getting Popeye's, it's wings.
If I'm grilling chicken, it's wings and legs.
If I'm smoking chicken, it's leg quarters.

The only time I'll eat dry arse chicken breast is if it's a spicy chicken sandwich from Popeye's or CFA being those guys know how to keep that meat nice and moist.
