This has happened when I have grilled OR boiled a chicken. The chicken temps out at 165 degrees. All of it looks and tastes good except the dark meat is black with a funny texture near the bone. Any ideas or suggestions?

I think that means the chicken has been frozen.
I'd remember what brand they were and avoid that brand.
If it was Sam'sClub,take it back for double your money back.
Thanks guys for the info... I bought the chicken from a discount chain. (sav-a-lot) Usually they have quality stuff but I guess I'll have to find my chicken elsewhere. Here is one from my event grill with some roasted root vegetables.
It could be that the blood near the bone "cooked" and turned color.
I would find out the brand name, they probably sell them at other places.
There are a couple that Sam's here carry and I won't buy them anymore, just haven't had anything but trouble with the bones and blood next to them.

What SmokinOkie said! Some chickens are being grown so fast (hormones?) and slaughtered so young that the bones do not have time to calcify.
