There are a few theories about why different meats are often compared to chicken. One explanation is that chicken is generally more bland than other meats, making it the most generic choice for comparison. Chicken is also mass-produced, meaning the animals are bred to have large muscle mass and are slaughtered earlier in their lifespan. Therefore, they do not develop the complex flavors that a wild animal would.

Another possible suggestion came from Joe Staton of the Museum of Comparative zoology. He explained that amphibians, reptiles, and certain birds taste more like chicken due to a similar “evolutionary origin.”
