Ground Dark Meat Chicken

Ground Dark Meat Chicken

EverydayRaw

Ground dark meat chicken is a poultry product made from minced leg and thigh cuts, offering richer flavor and higher fat content compared to breast-based ground chicken. This darker meat contains more iron and zinc than white meat varieties, while providing sufficient fat (about 10-15% per 100g) to maintain moisture during cooking. It's commonly used for juicier burgers, meatballs, and chili, but requires thorough cooking to 165°F (74°C) for food safety.
