fried chicken question
Why do they charge more for white meat than for dark? They both come from the same chicken or is there a shortage of white chickens. I think dark consists of legs thighs and back. Breast and wings comprise the white. By weight it would seem that the dark would equal the white but the price is almost 25% higher often. Inquiring minds want to know.
This thread contains no overt political or social commentary.

White meat is healthier, not that it matters much once its been battered and deep fried.

More people like white meat than dark meat. Supply and demand.

Also, a breast has more meat on it than a thigh or leg.

I've always like the dark meat better. The white meat is always too dry.

just mapquest to your nearest KFC. wendys used to have good fried chicken as well; the key was PRESSURE.
white meat is more bland thus better accepted. personally i have a wierd assed food allergy that involves dark poultry. prefer it and LOVE me some drumsticks but on occassion dark meat does a number on me (mild -used to be somewhat severe- anaphylactic shock ((SP?)))

Clean and dry pieces. Dip in beaten egg (or milk or buttermilk) then dredge in flour that contains pepper and Hungarian paprika or even a trace of chili powder. In a cast iron pan heat about 2 cups of Crisco with 1/2 cup bacon grease (good fried chicken is NOT healthy.) Get it to the right temp. Drop a piece of chicken skin in the oil, it should bubble gently. Fill the pan with chicken. The oil should submerge almost half the chicken. DO NOT TOUCH THE CHICKEN WHILE IT COOKS! It will disrupt the breading and make the chicken too greasy. Don't nudge, jostle or rearrange the chicken. Let it fry. When it looks like it's getting nice and brown, flip the pieces and lightly salt the chicken. Yum!
