breast is filet, no bones, just pure meat
it's the easiest to "collect"
they can make anything out of it, be that filets, nuggets, or sliced chicken ham etc etc

leg,
they need to do more work to end up with just the meat and not have bones in it
the meat will not be as presentable ( smal pieces)
they can only make chicken legs out of it, or process it into chicken nuggets
some folks think that dark meat is old chicken ( when it ain't necessarly true)


the best chickens however, are darker anyway
the whiter the meat, the more industrial

if i bought chicken in Holland, it tasted like nothing
in Belgium , better, slightly darker too
last time i was in France, it's so much darker , and tastier...

Holland actually had some food scandals, where industrial sellers were injecting the chicken meat with water... weight goes up, charge more, water is cheap...
