muslo في 30 ثانية
- Muslo: The thigh of a bird's leg, a popular food item.
- Used for chicken, turkey, and duck thighs in cooking and dining.
- A key culinary term for a flavorful and moist cut of poultry.
- Common in markets, restaurants, and home cooking discussions.
- Definition
- The word 'muslo' in Spanish refers to the upper part of a bird's leg, specifically the thigh. This is a common culinary term, especially when discussing poultry like chicken, turkey, or duck. When you order a piece of chicken at a restaurant or buy it from a butcher, you might see options like 'pechuga' (breast) or 'muslo' (thigh). It's a very practical word used in everyday contexts related to food and cooking.
- Usage
- People use 'muslo' when talking about specific cuts of poultry for meals. For instance, if someone is preparing a roast chicken, they might specify that they want to use 'dos muslos de pollo' (two chicken thighs). In a butcher shop, you'd ask for 'muslos' if that's the part of the chicken you prefer. It's also used when discussing recipes that call for chicken thighs, highlighting their juiciness and flavor compared to other parts of the bird. The term is straightforward and widely understood in Spanish-speaking countries.
En el supermercado, compré un paquete de muslos de pollo para la cena.
¿Prefieres pechuga o muslo de pollo?
- Culinary Context
- In cooking, 'muslo' is often favored for its richer flavor and moistness compared to the breast meat. Recipes for dishes like 'pollo al horno' (roast chicken) or 'pollo guisado' (stewed chicken) frequently utilize chicken thighs.
- Everyday Conversation
- You'll hear this word in casual conversations about food shopping, meal planning, or dining out. For example, someone might say, 'Voy a hacer muslos de pollo a la parrilla' (I'm going to make grilled chicken thighs).
El muslo de pavo es mi parte favorita de Acción de Gracias.
- Basic Usage
- The most common way to use 'muslo' is in reference to chicken thighs. You'll often hear it in the context of buying, preparing, or eating chicken. For example, 'Me encantan los muslos de pollo frito' (I love fried chicken thighs). The word is used directly to identify the part of the bird.
- With Quantities
- When specifying how many pieces you want, you'll use numbers with 'muslos'. For instance, 'Necesito tres muslos de pollo para la receta' (I need three chicken thighs for the recipe). This is typical when ordering at a market or when following a recipe.
El chef recomendó el muslo de pato por su sabor intenso.
- Describing Preparation
- You can combine 'muslo' with verbs describing cooking methods. 'Vamos a asar los muslos de pollo' (We are going to roast the chicken thighs) or 'Los muslos de pollo se cocinan lentamente' (The chicken thighs cook slowly). This shows how the word integrates into sentences about food preparation.
- In Menus
- Restaurant menus commonly feature 'muslo' when listing chicken dishes. You might see an item like 'Muslo de pollo a la brasa con patatas' (Grilled chicken thigh with potatoes). This is a direct and clear usage.
Ella pidió un muslo de pollo a la plancha.
Para el estofado, usamos muslos de pollo porque quedan más jugosos.
- At the Butcher Shop/Supermarket
- This is perhaps the most common place to hear 'muslo'. When you're at the counter buying poultry, you'll directly ask for 'muslos de pollo', 'muslos de pavo', or other types of bird thighs. The butcher or store employee will understand immediately what you need.
- In Restaurants
- Restaurant menus and waiters frequently use 'muslo' when describing chicken dishes. If you're ordering a meal that features chicken thighs, the menu will likely list it as 'muslo de pollo'. For example, 'Pollo al horno con hierbas y un muslo tierno' (Oven-baked chicken with herbs and a tender thigh).
En el menú ponía 'Muslo de pollo asado', así que lo pedí.
- In Home Cooking Discussions
- When people talk about what they are cooking or planning to cook, 'muslo' is a natural part of the conversation. A family member might say, 'Hoy comemos muslos de pollo con ensalada' (Today we're eating chicken thighs with salad). It's a word used in everyday domestic settings.
- In Recipes and Cookbooks
- Cookbooks and online recipe sites will use 'muslo' when specifying ingredients. You'll see instructions like 'añadir dos muslos de pollo' (add two chicken thighs) or 'marinar los muslos durante una hora' (marinate the thighs for an hour).
La receta dice que hay que hornear el muslo a 180 grados.
¿Me puedes dar un muslo de pollo, por favor?
- Confusing with 'pierna'
- While 'pierna' means 'leg' in general, 'muslo' specifically refers to the 'thigh' part of the leg. Sometimes, especially in less precise contexts or when referring to a whole leg cut, people might use 'pierna' when 'muslo' would be more accurate for the thigh portion. However, in culinary contexts, 'muslo' is the preferred and correct term for the thigh.
- Using it for other meats
- 'Muslo' is primarily associated with poultry (chicken, turkey, duck). While theoretically, it could apply to the thigh of other animals, it's not commonly used for, say, pork or beef thighs. For those meats, other terms like 'codillo' (pork knuckle) or simply 'pierna' (for lamb or pork leg) are more appropriate. Sticking to poultry for 'muslo' is the safest bet.
Mistake: 'Compré una pierna de pollo para asar.' Correct: 'Compré un muslo de pollo para asar' (if referring specifically to the thigh).
- Gender Agreement
- 'Muslo' is a masculine noun. Therefore, any adjectives or articles used with it must also be masculine. Forgetting this can lead to grammatical errors. For example, saying 'la muslo' instead of 'el muslo', or 'musla' instead of 'muslo'.
- Overgeneralization
- While 'muslo' can refer to the human thigh, in everyday Spanish, especially when discussing food, it's almost exclusively used for birds. Using it for human legs in a casual conversation might sound a bit odd or overly anatomical unless in a specific medical or anatomical context.
Mistake: 'Me duele la muslo.' Correct: 'Me duele el muslo.'
- Pierna
- Meaning: Leg (general term).
Comparison: 'Pierna' is the general word for 'leg', encompassing the entire limb from hip to foot. 'Muslo' is a specific part of that leg – the thigh. You would say 'la pierna del pollo' to refer to the whole leg, but 'el muslo del pollo' for just the thigh. In human anatomy, 'pierna' refers to the lower leg (shin and calf), while 'muslo' is the upper leg (thigh). However, in common usage, 'pierna' can sometimes refer to the entire leg, including the thigh. - Pata
- Meaning: Paw, leg (of animals, sometimes used informally for bird legs).
Comparison: 'Pata' is typically used for the legs of four-legged animals (dogs, cats, horses) or for the entire leg of a bird, including the foot. It's less common to use 'pata' specifically for the thigh meat of poultry. 'Muslo' is the precise term for the thigh.
Alternative: 'Prefiero la pierna de pollo porque es más jugosa.' (I prefer the chicken leg because it's juicier.) - This is understandable but less precise than specifying 'muslo' if the thigh is what's meant.
- Cuarto trasero
- Meaning: Hindquarters.
Comparison: This is a more technical or culinary term, often used when referring to larger cuts of meat or when discussing butchery. A hindquarter might include the thigh and drumstick together, or even more. 'Muslo' is a specific part within the hindquarters. - Jamoncito
- Meaning: Little leg, often refers to a drumstick or a smaller thigh piece.
Comparison: 'Jamoncito' is a diminutive, implying a smaller portion. While it can sometimes refer to a chicken thigh, it's more commonly associated with the drumstick ('contramuslo' or 'pata muslo' can also be used). 'Muslo' is the standard, non-diminutive term for the thigh.
Example: 'El muslo de pollo es una parte sabrosa y tierna.' (The chicken thigh is a tasty and tender part.)
How Formal Is It?

'Pierna' is the general word for 'leg'. While it can sometimes refer to the whole leg including the thigh, 'muslo' specifically designates the thigh part. In human anatomy, 'pierna' often refers to the lower leg, while 'muslo' is the thigh.
'Pata' is typically used for the legs of animals like dogs or cats, or the entire leg of a bird including the foot. It's not the precise term for the thigh meat of poultry.
'Contramuslo' is often used synonymously with 'muslo' or can refer to the drumstick part of the leg, depending on regional usage. 'Muslo' is the more standard and universally understood term for the thigh.
سهل الخلط
Both 'pierna' and 'muslo' relate to the leg of a bird.
'Muslo' specifically refers to the thigh, the upper part of the leg. 'Pierna' is a more general term for 'leg' and can refer to the entire leg or, in some contexts, just the lower leg (shin/calf). In culinary contexts for poultry, 'muslo' is precise for the thigh, while 'pierna' might be used more broadly.
Compré una pierna de pollo (I bought a chicken leg - could be thigh and drumstick together) vs. Compré un muslo de pollo (I bought a chicken thigh - specifically the upper part).
Both can refer to a bird's leg.
'Pata' usually refers to the entire leg of an animal, often including the foot, and is commonly used for non-human animals. For birds, it can mean the whole leg. 'Muslo' is exclusively the thigh part. You wouldn't ask for 'un muslo de perro', but you might ask for 'la pata de un pollo' to refer to its whole leg.
El pollo tiene dos patas, y cada pata tiene un muslo. (The chicken has two legs, and each leg has a thigh.)
Often used interchangeably with 'muslo' in some regions.
While 'contramuslo' can sometimes mean 'thigh', it can also refer more specifically to the drumstick or the part just below the thigh. 'Muslo' is the more standard and universally accepted term for the thigh.
En España, a veces se usa 'contramuslo' para referirse a la parte de la pierna que incluye el muslo y el jamoncito. 'Muslo' es más claro y directo para la parte superior.

10 أسئلةNo, 'muslo' can be used for the thigh of any bird, such as turkey ('muslo de pavo') or duck ('muslo de pato'). While it can technically refer to the thigh of other animals, its most common and precise usage is for poultry.
'Muslo' specifically means 'thigh' (the upper part of the leg). 'Pierna' is a more general term for 'leg'. For example, a chicken has one 'pierna' (leg), which is composed of a 'muslo' (thigh) and a drumstick (often called 'jamoncito' or 'pata-muslo').
The pronunciation is 'MU-slo', with the stress on the first syllable. The 'u' sounds like the 'oo' in 'moon', and the 's' is pronounced clearly. The final 'o' is a pure vowel sound.
Yes, 'muslo' is a very common word, especially in contexts related to food, cooking, and dining. You will hear it frequently in markets, restaurants, and everyday conversations about meals.
Yes, 'muslo' also refers to the thigh of a human leg. However, in everyday culinary discussions, it is overwhelmingly used for poultry. If you are talking about anatomy, it is the correct term for the human thigh.
The plural of 'muslo' is 'muslos'.
Many dishes feature chicken thighs due to their flavor and moisture. Examples include 'pollo al ajillo' (garlic chicken), 'pollo en pepitoria', and various grilled or roasted chicken preparations where thighs are preferred for their juiciness.
Yes, 'muslo' is always a masculine noun in Spanish. Therefore, it takes masculine articles ('el', 'un') and must be accompanied by masculine adjectives ('jugoso', 'tierno').
'Muslo' is the standard term for thigh. 'Jamoncito' is a diminutive, often meaning a smaller thigh or a drumstick. It's less formal and implies a smaller portion.
If you specifically want the thigh part, use 'muslo de pollo'. If you want the entire leg (thigh plus drumstick), you might ask for 'una pierna de pollo', although sometimes 'pierna' can also be used for just the thigh depending on the region and context.
