Refridgerated chicken dark meat

Whenever we cook chicken the dark meat leftover in the fridge tastes too gamy after refrigeration, i can eat dark meat chicken, but after its been refrigerated i cant eat it its nasty, anyone else like this?

That was the problem I had with turkey. I love drumsticks but they're always so tough the next day.

@JustPlainLucas: Tough meaning what? the taste?

Typically that means texture. Hard to chew.

That's correct. It's a textural thing.

@CombatHigh: I'm like this, I usually ad other flavours to help, like bacon and mayo

dark meat is honestly the only part of the bird I like.

Until I learned how to brine. Then the white meat actually stays moist.

Brining and spatchcocking. Learn it, folks, it'll make you a chicken/turkey god.

Gotta keep that light on ;o

I sometimes will use left over meat like OP mentioned in a fajita, casserole, or grilled sandwich. Good stuff.

I don't think I ever had that gamy taste before. Perhaps there's something wrong with the chicken you buy from.
