I think it is not the meat that makes a difference, but the ratio of
skin to meat. Skin is the tastiest part, at least as far as a lot of
people are concerned. Here in Germany, chicken wings are not nearly as
popular as in the USA and consequently do not cost quite as much
compared to other chicken parts, but I still prefer the legs and thighs
(or both in one piece) for cooking at home.
