Baby chicken, often referred to as poussin, is a young chicken typically under 28 days old. Popular in French cuisine and widely appreciated in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern dishes, poussin is prized for its tender meat and delicate flavor. Nutritionally, baby chicken is a rich source of high-quality protein, essential for muscle maintenance and repair. It also provides key vitamins, such as B vitamins, which support energy metabolism, and minerals like phosphorus, necessary for bone health. Its lower fat content compared to older poultry options makes it a leaner choice, although preparations involving oils, butter, or heavy seasonings may increase calorie and fat content. A versatile ingredient, baby chicken can be grilled, roasted, or braised to suit a variety of culinary styles while serving as a lighter alternative in poultry-based meals. Enjoy in moderation as part of a balanced and wholesome diet.
