Alice is trying to get Bob to eat a new meal that people don't usually eat (usually from an alien planet). When Bob finally gives in, and eats what's unfamiliar to him, he immediately proclaims, "Mmmm... Tastes like chicken!" In short, practically everything tastes like chicken in Fiction Land. This is supposed to convey the message that the taste is, if not good, at least blandly inoffensive. This idea was tested on the Food Network show Food Detectives, and found to be true for most meat from non mammals. The scientific rationale is that the muscles are made mostly of fast-twitch fibers and lacking in slow-twitch, so basically any small and light animal that's not a fish will tend to taste close enough to each other that the brain's sense memory defaults to the most commonly-eaten meat of that type — a sort of culinary version of Small Reference Pools. For most people, that means chicken. Fast-twitch fibers are the vanilla ice cream of the flesh-product world, and don't really have much of a flavor to start with. It holds especially true if the animals in question are relatively young and haven't picked up a lot of environmental flavors; alligator tastes fishier if the animal's been swimming around eating seafood for a few years, and most market chickens are about 6-8 months old when they're shipped. On the other hand, whether or not this is true also depends greatly on how the food is prepared. When the MythBusters tested this one, the rate of success in identifying chicken from not-chicken increased when the meat was ground up and then cooked on a grill. And for some, the texture of the meat may be a dead giveaway no matter how it's prepared (as Tory proved in the first round of testing; this is what prompted the ground-up-then-grilled test). Based on a passage from Christopher Columbus' log, "The Log of Christopher Columbus," in which he describes having killed and eaten a serpent: "The people eat them and the meat is white and tastes like chicken." Contrast with It Tastes Like Feet. |

In Kobolds Ate My Baby, the titular kobolds by default have the flaw "Tastes Like Chicken," which guarantees that kobolds will find each other quite delicious (as will any other non-herbivore). That's the better of two choices— the other is "Tastes Like Baby." How kobolds react to babies is right there in the title. | |

MythBusters also tested the concept, and came to a different (though not necessarily contradictory) conclusion than Food Detectives did. The first test had the various meats battered, fried, and seasoned. Grant's success rate was low (11/20, or little better than chance), but Tory was able to detect texture differences that gave him a 17/20 success rate. The second test had the meats ground up to eliminate the texture factor, then cooked on an outdoor grill. Due to the lack of seasoning to mask flavors, Tory guessed 18/20 correctly, and Grant guessed 19/20 correctly. A conclusion could be drawn that seasoning and preparation are very important to the trope, as is texture. Because of the high success rate in the second test, the myth was overall Busted. However, there was one meat that both Tory and Grant thought tasted like chicken in test two: Boar. |

In Something*Positive, Davan once argued that babies would taste like chicken because of this trope's existance. His friend argued back that babies would taste more like veal, veal being baby cow. Yeah, it's almost literally a Black Comedy. Veal kind of tastes like chicken, in fact. No slow-twitch fiber development because the calves can't move. |

Stargate SG-1: In "The First Commandment", Daniel Jackson says this with a tone of disgust about the meal they're eating. When Sam Carter asks what's wrong with it tasting like chicken, Jackson says it's supposed to be macaroni and cheese. Played with in another episode, where a food-obsessed alien who has never eaten chicken gets some and thinks it's amazingly good. He demands more, but doesn't get any because it's a "rare delicacy". |

The Walking Dead: In the Talking Dead episode following the fourth season finale of the show that Talking discusses, Andrew Lincoln (Rick Grimes' actor) is a guest, and discusses the scene with the Claimers where he rips out the leader's throat with his teeth. When setting up the scene, he's asked by the effects team which kind of meat he'd like for spitting out to simulate the flesh ripped out of the leader's throat, beef or chicken, and going with reasoning of this trope he says chicken. He mentions this was a poor decision on his part, given the specifics of the scene. | |

In The Freshman (1990), Marlon Brando's character hosted a "Gourmet Club" that regularly feasted on endangered species, and was planning to serve a stolen Komodo dragon at their latest meeting. Toward the end of the movie, it's revealed that he regularly smuggled said animals out of the kitchen while still alive, and had his chefs prepare chicken or turkey instead, figuring his guests would never know the difference. For Komodo dragon, he told his chefs, "Dark meat." | |

When Last Week Tonight with John Oliver did a segment on chicken farmers, they showcased news reports where meats were likened in taste to chicken, such as lizard, alligator and armadillo. Then John discussed how that analogy is hardly translatable to other senses ("If I said 'everything looks like tables' or 'everything feels like cushboards' you'd think I'm insane"). Later on the episode when thinking how to help chicken farmers, he considered stop eating chicken before disregarding it immediatly since "chicken is delicious" while eating from a bucket and adding "it tastes like armadillo". |

Parodied in Surf's Up. Cody, not paying attention, remarks to Chicken Joe that his Squid on a Stick tastes like chicken. Joe says 'yup', clearly not catching on. And then Chicken Joe gets saved from being eaten by cannibal penguins once he gives them a Squid on a Stick, who remark "tastes like chicken" and request more of those. |

In March to the Sea, after killing the flar-kenote very aggressive and large Mardukan herbivores, akin to Cape Buffalo on Earth that were threatening Roger's group, the humans make a meal of the remains of the beasts. Captain Pahner comments that they're about to find out what flar-ke tastes like, to which Dobrescu replies "one guess". It turns out that it really does taste "very much like chicken." | |

Played with in Li'l Abner with the Shmoo. While they defintely taste like chicken when fried, shmoos often taste differently when prepared some other way. To wit: Broiled, they taste like steak. Roasted they taste like pork. Baked they taste like catfish. And yes, they taste like oysters on the half shell when eaten raw. | |

Amazingly used in Star Trek: Voyager. A group of Borg drones are stranded on an alien planet. Without a functioning Borg Cube they can't regenerate, so they must eat one of the dead drones. One of the nonhuman drones remarks, "It tastes similar to a bird I once ate." It takes Let's Meet the Meat a little too literally. In "Hunters", Tom describes one of Neelix's mystery dishes as tasting like chicken, but with the consistency of corn husks. Used again in "The Void". The crew of Voyager is experiencing a food shortage and Neelix has whipped up something to look like a delicacy but is really just some alien whatever. He tells Paris to "pretend that it's Seven's fettran risotto" and Paris replies "It tastes more like chicken." |
