| Abstract: |
The article focuses on the rising popularity of chicken thighs and dark meat in American dining, highlighting a significant cultural and economic shift. Once stigmatized due to health misconceptions and preferences for white meat, chicken thighs are now favored for their flavor, texture, affordability, and culinary versatility. This trend is driven by changing nutritional perceptions, advances in poultry processing, and demographic shifts including the growing influence of Asian and Hispanic populations who traditionally consume more dark meat. The increased demand is reflected in both high-end restaurants and mainstream food outlets, as well as in poultry industry sales and pricing. [Extracted from the article] |
