Chicken is the most common type of poultry in the world. In developed countries, chickens are usually subject to intensive farming methods. ==History== The modern chicken is a descendant of red junglefowl hybrids along with the grey junglefowl first raised thousands of years ago in the northern parts of the Indian subcontinent.〔Eriksson J, Larson G, Gunnarsson U, Bed'hom B, Tixier-Boichard M, et al. (2008) ''Identification of the Yellow Skin Gene Reveals a Hybrid Origin of the Domestic Chicken.'' PLoS Genet January 23, 2008 ().〕 Chicken as a meat has been depicted in Babylonian carvings from around 600 BC.〔(Chicken facts and origins at Poultrymad )〕 Chicken was one of the most common meats available in the Middle Ages. It was eaten over most of the Eastern hemisphere and a number of different kinds of chicken such as capons, pullets and hens were eaten. It was one of the basic ingredients in the so-called white dish, a stew usually consisting of chicken and fried onions cooked in milk and seasoned with spices and sugar. Chicken consumption in the United States increased during World War II due to a shortage of beef and pork.〔(Poultry Farming ), The History Channel. March 2, 2007.〕 In Europe, consumption of chicken overtook that of beef and veal in 1996, linked to consumer awareness of Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (mad cow disease).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=BBC survey another blow against UK chicken )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chicken (food)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
