About Chicken leg with skin
Chicken leg with skin is a popular poultry cut featuring a juicy thigh and drumstick. Common in global cuisines, it’s often roasted, grilled, or fried to perfection, offering rich flavor from its dark meat and the crispiness of golden-brown skin. Nutritionally, chicken leg provides high-quality protein essential for muscle repair and growth, along with vitamins like B6 and B12, which support energy metabolism and brain function. It’s also a source of minerals such as phosphorous and selenium. However, much of the fat, including saturated fat, is concentrated in the skin, making it less heart-healthy when consumed in excess. Removing the skin can reduce calorie and fat content significantly while retaining the meat’s nutritional benefits. Despite this, chicken leg with skin remains a comforting and versatile choice enjoyed in dishes like barbecue, hearty stews, and curries worldwide. Moderation is key for maintaining balance in a healthy diet.
