Answers:
differences include fat content, flavor, and tissue concentration (which means that some parts are more tender than others)!. the breast has the least amount of fat but also the least amount of flavor and is the most tender!. the wings have a bit more fat and are tender also!. the dark meat, legs and thighs, have much more fat and flavor but need a longer cooking time!. breast is the healthiest but you really do sacrifice flavor!. and if you're working out a little more fat won't hurt ya!. if you're gonna stick with breast try to marinate to add some flavor!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

the "white meat" of the chicken is the chicken breast, and cooks relativley quickly compaired to the dark meat of the chicken!. The "dark meat" is the legs, thighs, drumsticks, etc!. and contains more fat and connective tissue but also more flavor!. The problem with chicken is that they cook at different times!. By the time the dark meat is done, the breast is usually dry and over-cooked!. It depends on how you are cooking the chicken whether your want the pieces separate or together!. for instance, baking, you wan t a whole chicken!. Frying, poaching, grilling and stewing you would want separate peices!. But, if you are working out, eat the chicken breast and don't overcook it!. It will taste like yarn!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
