Am I a hypocrite that I treat my chickens as loving pets but I eat chicken from Popeye's or KFC?

Ah, okay.

My grandma used to say, "meat that's on a bone is the best meat". So that's what sets wings apart from the breast... They got the bone magic.

I'm making chicken wings tonight.

It’s totally fine. I’m the same way.

Personally, the breasts are my favorite part. But I wish they were closer to thigh size. I'll have to keep that in mind when I get into my own meat birds.

Enjoying this convo. My DH likes white meat, I prefer dark. He likes wings, I prefer drums. We are so compatible! We have eaten everything from EE to Australorps to Brown Leghorns and Dominique cockerels, but have to admit, those Cornish game hens were the best and will probably order more. Even a skinny old bird makes good broth, and around here not much goes to waste.

Dark meat is okay to me, I just like the sweetness of white more. I ate a lot of dark meat at my last job though,, so I might just be tired of it.

I browned a few thighs on the stove top the other night, then moved them into a casserole dish, covered them with Italian dressing and baked them at 350° for about 20 minutes. They were amazingly good. Served with wild rice and butternut squash.
