Leg Quarters
Fun Fact: A fun fact about chicken quarters is that they are one of the most economical and flavorful parts of the chicken to cook with. A chicken quarter, which includes both the thigh and the drumstick, is known for its darker meat, which provides a richer flavor compared to the white meat found in chicken breasts. This is because the leg muscles are more active and contain more myoglobin, which gives the meat its dark color.
Moreover, chicken quarters are incredibly versatile and can absorb a wide range of flavors, making them a favorite in diverse culinary traditions around the world. From slow-roasted in Mediterranean herbs to marinated and grilled in a traditional Tandoori style, chicken quarters adapt well to various cooking methods and seasonings. This versatility, combined with their affordability, makes chicken quarters a popular choice for family dinners and large gatherings, where they can be prepared in bulk to delicious effect.
