About Broiled checken leg
Broiled chicken leg is a flavorful and protein-packed dish commonly found in global cuisines, particularly American and Mediterranean cooking. This preparation involves seasoning a chicken leg—typically comprising both the drumstick and thigh—with spices, herbs, or marinades, then cooking it under direct heat for a crisp, golden surface and tender interior. Rich in lean protein, broiled chicken supports muscle health and provides essential nutrients like B vitamins, phosphorus, and selenium. It's a lower-fat option compared to fried chicken, especially when the skin is removed before cooking. However, leaving the skin on can increase saturated fat content. Adjusting seasonings and avoiding excessive oil or sugary marinades can help maintain its nutritional balance. Broiling also preserves moisture and enhances natural flavors without requiring added fats, making it a wholesome choice for a balanced diet when paired with vegetables or whole grains.
