When questioned about how rattlesnake tastes, one often hears the word "chicken". I have never eaten rattle snake; so I cannot vouch for the voracity of this statement. I have, though, had the courage to taste a variety of other seldom eaten meats, and I must confess that I have never eaten anything I thought tasted quite like chicken. Chicken has a taste all its own and each part of the bird also has its subtle difference.
The breast has a different flavor than the leg or the thigh and the heart has a different texture than the wing. No wonder people say that everything from frog legs to iguanas taste like chicken - there are so many tastes in chicken to choose from. To get the full benefit of every part of a chicken try roasting a chicken whole. This is one of the easiest and, at the same time, most elegant ways to cook chicken. This recipe can also be used for almost any other fowl.
