📝 Frequently asked questions, answers and tips:
Are Chicken Leg Quarters White or Dark Meat?
Chicken leg quarters offer a tasty combination of both white and dark meat, giving you a balance of flavors and textures in your dishes.
White meat, like chicken breast, is lean and tends to be lighter in color. It has a mild, slightly sweet flavor and a tender texture. It's often described as being similar to the meat from the chicken's breast area.
Dark meat, on the other hand, comes from the legs and thighs of the chicken. It is darker in color, thanks to a higher concentration of myoglobin, a protein that stores oxygen in muscles. Dark meat is juicier, richer in flavor, and has a slightly firmer texture compared to white meat.
The chicken quarter is a cut of chicken that consists of a thigh with a drumstick intact to the tight as well as and part of the back of the chicken still in place. The chicken breast is not included.
It will be mainly dark meat. The thigh, leg, or drumstick, of the chicken, are used most and therefore a tougher but more flavorful cut of meat.
Dark meat chicken is done and safe to eat when an instant-read thermometer reaches a safe internal temperature of 165. Be sure to insert the meat thermometer into the thickest part of the meat without touching the bone.
