    What is a chicken quarter?

    The chicken quarter consists of a thigh with a drumstick in tact to the tight as well as and part of the back of the chicken still in place. Without the chicken breast, this combination of chicken parts is called a chicken quarter because it consists of about a quarter of the whole chicken.

    What type of meat does a chicken quarter have?

    A chicken quarter 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.

    How do you know dark chicken meat is done?

    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.
