I am wondering if anyone else has a problem with the cooking of Chicken Legs. I absolutely hate the way some of these cook., especially when the cooked meat yields the most hideous dark blood colours on the meat. I am most particular too, making sure that they are well cooked. I cannot eat them and always throw them away. I buy these fresh, they look lovely, but they always turn out this way, especially around the top of the leg where it has been cut. What am I doing wrong?

Nothing. You just have a psychological issue with how this meat looks. Other people will eat that no trouble at all. The meat that causes me the most trouble in this way is ham (even the word will cause a look of disgust to appear on my face).

I struggle with darker toned chicken as well. Well, I say struggle, but I just flat don't eat it. The rest of my family happily munch away on it though.. I just stick with breast. I don't think you're doing anything wrong, its just the way some pieces are.
