About Chicken leg with skin grilled
Chicken leg with skin, grilled, is a flavorful and protein-packed dish commonly enjoyed in various cuisines worldwide, including American barbecue, Mediterranean, and Asian cooking. The leg, consisting of the drumstick and thigh, provides juicy, tender meat, while the skin adds crisp texture and savory richness when grilled. This preparation method enhances natural flavors without excessive fat or oil. Nutritionally, chicken is an excellent source of high-quality protein, essential for muscle growth and repair. It also contains B vitamins, phosphorus, and selenium that support metabolic function and bone health. However, eating the skin increases calorie and fat content, including saturated fats, which may impact heart health if consumed in excess. Grilling is a healthier cooking method compared to frying, as it reduces added fats. To balance the dish, pair it with nutrient-rich vegetables and whole grains for a complete, wholesome meal option.
