chicken legs

Dark meat portions

Chicken legs are the leg portions of a chicken, including the thigh and drumstick, popular as inexpensive cuts for frying, grilling, or braising.

The term also describes thin, underdeveloped human legs, especially on someone whose upper body is more muscular: He skips leg day—look at those chicken legs.
