chicken, dark meat or white meat?

[slipknotpsycho]

just a quick question, are chicken thighs white meat, or dark meat??

(this is just a note for myself, 13-14 minutes for dark, 8-10 for white)

[40oz]

its dark i think

[slipknotpsycho]

i think it is too, but i wanted to get atleast a 2nd opinion on it.... cuz if i went and cooked it as dark, that shit would get burned as hell lol...

[2600HERTZ]

Thighs are dark.

Thighs and legs are dark. Breasts and wings are white.

[slipknotpsycho]

k thanks.
wouldn't wanna go fucking up the last bit of decent food we have.

decent = something that requires home preperation and cooking.... no microwave shit, no oven ready shit.

[Skink]

I like the dark meat for eating and the white for soup...

[slipknotpsycho]

well i'm making fried chicken...

[Skink]

well i'm making fried chicken...

thats a tough one cause if it's made right the white meat is moist and juicy,,,I hate dry whit meat... dark meat is a no brainer fried,,,pretty hard to mess it up...

[tootsie roll]

well i'm making fried chicken...

That is expensive:)

I really only like the white meat.
I will not eat chicken if I am out at someone elses house. Cause they tend to undercook and that is pretty gross.

I got beef stew in the Crock Pot... in about a 1/2 hour I will be Yumo...

Well How was the Chicken???

[Dave Byrd]

Birdgirl likes only dark meat, and I like only white. That's the way a marriage should work. Fried chicken is her favorite food in the world. It's what we're fixing her today, in fact, and she'd never have forgiven me if I hadn't responded to this thread on her behalf. She feels more people should go for dark meat.

She feels more people should go for dark meat.

Taken out of context, that sounds soooo naughty... :D

>.< it kinda sucked... the first 2 peices got burned on the outside but was still pink and half-bloody in the deep deep middle... the other three peices i could only cook for a few minutes before the outside was on the risk of being burnt (well none of it got burnt burnt, it was just really over cooked) as well... i had to finish 'em off in the microwave which i hate doing...

i'm about done with chicken >.< everytime i cook it (and i'm a fucking amazing cook, just not with chicken) it's either over cooked, or under cooked.. it's never just perfect like any other meat i make is....

other then that, it was good... the 5 hours in the marinade made it REALLY juicy and it had an awsome taste...

i'm about done with chicken.

[Skink]

bring the oil to 350 and you need to put like 5/6 peices in to bring the temp down initally,,, then keep the fire low to just create a sizzle,,,turn them often... Always finish in a 375/400 degree oven... I preheat my oven incase I screw up... Fried chicken is easy to mess up...

[slipknotpsycho]

i use a deep fryer, it can only fit 2-3 peices at most, and the oil was 350...

I watched my mother in law do fried chicken this afternoon. She did it in an iron skillet and turned the pieces a lot. Then she put them into the oven. She can always get it perfect. Birdie's still learning this technique and admits she prefers to outsource all chickenfrying jobs to Popeyes.

Popeyes rocks... Cast iron is the only way to fly,,,i mean fry...

[slipknotpsycho]

yea, well i'd perfer to fry shit in a cast iron as well (they're alot easier to keep a stable steady tempature, then in those thin ass pans) but i don't have a themometor to check the temp.

[partyguy420]

i just throw some oil in the cast iron, turn it on as hot as it will go... and then, to test the temp, i stick part of the chicken in it, and if it sizzels around the edge.... and then i turn it down to were its up at 3/4 as high as it will go... and then i just turn it when it turns golden brown...

i actualy prefear BBQ chicken... all meats... including skinks are better when BBQ-ed...
