If you work in a decent restaurant, the sweet and sour chicken is the light meat. We used dark meat for General Tso’s, Orange Chicken, and Sesame Chicken. It tastes better.
I think light chicken meat tastes better than dark, hands down, always. I always thought dark meat was used because it’s cheaper, or because they have to use it in something to get rid of it. I never knew it was because it was a traditional recipe thing - TIL, thanks!
Edit pound for pound, dark meat is less expensive than light, so cost may still be a factor, but it means I can still hope to find a place that makes a more luxurious General Tso’s, etc, with white. Still, lucky for you that you prefer the cheaper stuff! It’s like, I still prefer Taco Bell to fancy restaurants that make tacos with surloin slices or some crap - just give me ground beef, for christsakes.
