[edit] Original research

Overall this is a good article, and I agree that much of what it says is "common knowledge". However, it still needs to abide by the Wikipedia policy of Verifiability. Can we not find any books or references that can be used as sources for the information on this page? --NovaSTL 21:26, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

It's not so great. I removed the thing about chicken feet being popular in Jewish cuisine and being used in chicken soup, because, as a Jew, I've never seen chicken feet being cooked, served, or eaten as part of Jewish food, regardless of Jewish ethnic group. My mother NEVER makes soup out of chicken feet! (I've never seen anyone eat chicken feet, for that matter.) If such a blatant error could be made, I'm wondering what other errors there may be in this article. Hiergargo 03:37, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

I've actually eaten chicken feet in Chinese restaurants. Depending on the recipe it can be so-so or delicious. Freid chicken ='s mmm mmm goodness :-) Han-Kwang 14:21, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

For the record - my (Jewish) mother always used to include the chicken legs in soups and boiled chicken dishes. This was the traditional Jewish recipe, probably of Galician (polish) origin, since that is where most of the family came from. The feet were considered a delicacy. That was in England - here in Israel the chickens come more fully prepared and already lack feet. Ze'ev Yisroel, Jerusalem 213.8.87.25 09:46, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

What in this article is "original research"? I removed the part about creating a capon about a month ago (while I was on my IP address, not logged in) as it was really disgusting and not relevant to chicken as a food. Anyway, a section on the use of chicken in cusines across the world, perhaps including its history, could be a valuable addition to this page.--Grendlefuzz 12:50, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Any assumptions that are not cited qualify as OR. Statements such as Chicken serves as one of the most common meats in the world. . . do not cut it in a verified-based encyclopedia. z ε n .ıl 06:46, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Citations

Could someone please put the citations in correct wikipedia formatting? I'm not sure how to. Thanks in advance.--Grendlefuzz 18:30, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

I've set it up for you, but I question the third source you use. Usually it's not good form to cite another encyclopedia, because they often cite from other sources, and so on. I'm sure history on Chicken should be relatively easy to find, but even so, I'm suprised there isn't more to this article. z ε n .ıl 06:43, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Additives

There's a section in the chicken-bird article about growth hormones and anti-biotics added to their food and the human concerns over this. because this is also important to the chicken-food article, I would like to see it included. Naysie 06:19, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Nutritional value

The Nutritional value per 100g has no trans fat, since chicken is meat there should be some trans fat, or am I wrong. Samuel 02:35, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

You obviously didn't read the article that you linked. 134.250.70.81 00:37, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

I think you've seriously confused saturated and trans fat. Trans fat is from artificial stuff and processing (Crisco and similar), while saturated fat naturally occurs in animal products. If the chicken you consume contrains trans fat, there's something wrong.--Grendlefuzz 16:39, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cooking section

I have a slight issue with the Cooking section, which states that chicken is never eaten raw. Tori-sashi is, while not omnipresent in Japan, definitely available. Madball911 02:50, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] dark meat

i american media i hear reference to dark meat, is this the rib meat mentioned in the article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.31.52.71 (talk) 17:26, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Dark meat = the walking muscles, so the legs of a chicken. 83.100.175.94 (talk) 22:54, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
