partyguy, no aligator does not taste like chicken, as most tastes (unless refrencing another taste) is unexplainable... it is VERY good, i love it, and i'm one of those people that get very agitated at anyone talking about killing reptiles, i love reptiles, like love love, more than almost anyone else could.... but i HAVE eaten aligator... it's very good.. lol it's a very flavorful meat, juicy as hell, and is just orgasmic... in taste and texture... i HIGHLY reccomend trying it, if ever given the chance.... even half way, going out of your way just to try it... you will not be dissapointed.
