Tastes like chicken

A roasted whole chicken.
Many meats have a taste similar to chicken.

"Tastes like chicken" is a declaration occasionally used when trying to describe the flavor of an unusual food. The expression has been used so often in popular culture[which?] that it has become a cliché. As a result, the phrase is also sometimes used to provide incongruous humor, by being used to describe foods or situations where it has no real relevance.

It has been used to describe several meats, mostly other poultry meats, but also some other meats, including alligator,[1] crocodile,[2] frog[3] and snake.[4]
