Dark meat chicken returns

According to a new report in the Wall Street Journal, dark meat chicken is once again rising in popularity compared to its lighter counterparts.

Here to talk with us in today’s Mid-day Extra is Marshall Eckblad, who wrote the story for the Journal.

He says that it is a combination of a lot of factors that brought dark meat back from, well, the dark side — including big time producers like Chiptole favoring the more flavorful cuts, and the popularity of cooking TV shows that have shown how to cook on the bone again.
