"Americans don’t eat chicken legs and thighs"

you kiddin' or trolling ? :)

a unique cayenne pepper seasoned mostly dark meat fried chicken is a Nashville, Tennessee specialty. iow, something that is et in your neck of the woods.

dark chicken meat is actually more nutritious than white & the fat makes it more tasty.

less exported just means more for us folks that eat good.

the 1st photo example is a leg quarter.

Well, you are right of course but everychicken that produces two breasts produce two legs and two thighs two wings and two feet.

The breasts get eaten whole or as chicken tenders and pieces. The growers solved the wing problem with buffalo wings. That still leaves a big excess of legs and thighs to be sold. I like them and they are cheap but there are still literally tons that are exported.

Chicken Feet? We export them to China by the refrigerated container load as Chicken Paws. Feet translates to paws in chinese. They make soup from them. Forty thousand pounds of frozen chicken feet per container is a lot of chicken feet.

We also export turkey legs, gizzards and livers to Africa where they are consumed by the militaries.
