To explain:
The difference that in chickens, breast meat is light and leg meat is dark based on muscle fiber types and normal amount of activity performed by the breast and leg muscles.
Introduction
The breast meat of chicken is usually white because the energy for these muscle fibers comes majorly from carbohydrates such as glycogen and it does not require excess oxygen from the blood.
