Why do chicken thighs and chicken calves taste different?
Chicken thigh and chicken calf are different parts of chicken. Everyone knows about chicken thighs, but there are different opinions about chicken calves. Some say it's a pipa leg (the part where the chicken leg connects with the chicken foot), and some say it's a chicken wing root (chicken wing root). Neither of these statements is correct. In fact, the belly of the chicken leg is in the chicken wing.

The question of chicken calves is really clever. If you are not a foodie, you are a gourmet. Because chickens and calves can only be eaten in restaurants or western restaurants. Many people simply don't know what part of the chicken calf is. I know this meat is tender and delicious. Most of them are fried, and with a proper amount of garlic and spicy sauce, a delicious western food is ready.

How to divide chicken legs and wings? First of all, the chicken thigh is generally the whole chicken leg, which is the connection part between the chicken feet and the chicken body. The place connected with chicken feet is also called pipa leg, because it looks like a pipa. So I chose a nice name. The price of chicken legs in the supermarket is lower than that of pipa legs. I just went to the supermarket today. Pipa leg 9.98 yuan, chicken leg 6.98 yuan.

Secondly, chicken wings are the general name of the whole wing, or the name of removing the wing roots. Chicken wings are divided into three parts, wing root, wing center and wing tip. These three parts have no other names. Then why are chicken wings called chicken calves? Chicken calf is the name of the dish, not the name of a certain part of the chicken. The dish made of chicken wings looks like a chicken leg, so it is called a chicken leg. Let's share with you how to make chicken calves in chicken wings.
