Do chicken legs gross you out?

Question

I have a difficult time eating a chicken leg because of the legiments and bones and it just makes me sick that I can't even look at it. I have to boil the leg and pull off all the meat before I can even think about eating it.

Do others share this with me?

Answer 1

As I was reading your Question I just KNEW there would be at least one Answer from someone, describing how badly chickens are treated.

Anyway...the leg, thigh, and wing meat (AKA the dark meat) is the most flavorful. I'll eat a fried chicken drumstick out -of-hand, and I really like it.

But when I make a chef's salad, a chicken salad for sandwiches, or if I need shredded chicken for anything (tacos, for example), I prefer the dark meat. It's much more flavorful, and I think it presents better (ie, looks better on the plate). I'll cook the chicken, let it cool, and pull them meat off the bones (and separate the ligaments, etc).

But I will save the bones, and everything else, for making stock later. (the same rules apply to turkey, BTW)

Answer 2

It doesnt gross me out as long as the chicken is alive and has it's legs.. Im a vegitarian so heck yeah it does any other way

BOYCOTT KFC THEY KILL THE CHICKENS THE WORST WAY POSSIBLE

Answer 3

I think eating any dead animal flesh is gross. If you want to see how unnaturally turkeys and chickens are bred, watch this
