What tissue in a chicken wing is referred to as the meat?

Muscle tissue of the bicep and the tricep. Meat is muscle tissue. Chicken is an especially good example. The dark meat on a chicken is the muscle tissue that gets the most use (legs) and the white meat gets the least use (wings and breast) because chickens run around a lot but they cannot fly. The meat is different colors because it is of different densities and gets different amounts of blood during the life of the chicken. Wild birds don't have white meat because they use all of their muscles. That is why game birds are described as having a much stronger flavor.


Why is there white and dark meat on chickens?

A wild bird will have all dark meat. A chicken is a bird that has been domesticated and taken care of for centuries. Most wild birds fly. A chicken does not. Muscles are the "meat" of an animal. The more a muscle works the darker it gets. This is due to striations or sarcomere in the muscle cell that is responsible for contracting or bunching up the muscle. More work means more sarcomers means darker muscle. Chicken legs and thighs are dark meat. This is because the legs and thighs work to get the bird from place to place. Work means darker meat. Chicken breast and wings are light meat. Chickens don't fly because the breast is too bit, it interfers with the wing movement and there really is no need to fly since the bird is taken care of by humans. Since the wings and breast don't do much work, they are lighter in color and thus light meat.

Why are hen chicken wings are tougher than regular chicken wings at the store?

Hens are much older than the chickens grown for meat. The older the animal is when slaughtered, the tougher the meat. Poulets or capons for meat production usually are slaughtered at around six weeks to three months of age. Hens are slaughtered for stew and soup at the end of their prime breeding age, around one and a half years for egg layers, or 2 years for hens that produce eggs for meat birds.
