I love KFC. Everyone does. Especially in Pittsburgh, where the winter is cold and humid, it’s always good to get some extra calories. However, I noticed that when I order chicken at KFC, they always ask if I want dark meat or white meat. Dark meat is 1/2 dollars cheaper than white. So I always choose dark to save some money. However, I am always wondering does dark mean “bad quality” or something? I googled it and decided to write a blog about this.
I referred to Peter James’ answer on Quora. You can also find a nutrition chart on this page.
Basically, legs and thighs are dark meat, and breast is white meat.
I highly recommend dark meat over white. KFC made it seem that dark meat is inferior. In fact, although it has a little bit more calories and fat, it is much more tasty than white. Chicken breast is the most flavorless, dry part on a chicken. On the contrary, legs and thighs are tender, juicy, and flavorful. Get salad not KFC if you want to eat healthy. If you go to KFC, I assume that you don’t care much about the extra calories you get from thighs.

我们都是中国人，我们知道鸡腿肉比鸡胸肉不知道高到哪里去了，而且还便宜，以后请放心大胆的点dark meat!
