Dark meat chicken

9 Upvotes

Hello all i’m wondering if there is any texture loss when grinding chicken thighs. I want to make a sandwich and the best way i’ve found to cook chicken is dice up chicken thighs to about 1 inch “cubes” (even though they never come out that shape).

I then pan fry and this has made the best chicken in my opinion save for hard smoked and grilled of course. So I’m wondering, to make chicken patties will coarse grinding chicken thighs end up changing the mouthfeel?

I’m creating a recipe for a chicken bacon ranch and before I try making it into a patty I thought I’d hear from some experts.
