About Chicken leg grilled with skin
Chicken leg grilled with skin is a flavorful dish popular in various cuisines, including American barbecue, Mediterranean, and Asian-style grilling. This cut of meat includes the drumstick and thigh, known for their tender, juicy texture and rich flavor, enhanced when the skin is left on. Prepared by seasoning and grilling over an open flame, this method creates a crispy, golden-brown exterior while maintaining a moist interior. Chicken legs are an excellent source of protein, essential for muscle repair and overall energy. They also provide key nutrients such as iron, zinc, and B vitamins. However, the skin adds saturated fat and calories, so consuming it in moderation is recommended for those watching their fat intake. Grilling is a healthier cooking method compared to frying, as it reduces excess grease while locking in natural flavors. A well-balanced portion offers a satisfying and nutritious option.
