Some bodybuilding chickens named Dong Tao in Vietnam. Below is how they described the chicken
Once they reach this age, they weigh in, on average, at a massive 13.5
pounds. To put this in perspective, the average chicken weighs between
three and five pounds. At least one third of the Dong Tao’s weight is
from its legs, which typically have a circumference of at least four
inches. Despite the enlarged size of the chicken, its meat is
particularly tender and has a naturally sweeter flavor than regular
chicken.
This sweetness is the result of an enzyme in the bird that
allows the legs to grow so large. Due to the distinctive flavor and
investment of time in raising Dong Tao chickens, they sell for a
considerable price. They average around $10 per pound, although there is
at least one recorded sale of a twenty-two pound chicken selling for
nearly $300.
