About Chicken legs with skin
Chicken legs with skin are a popular protein choice known for their rich flavor and versatility across global cuisines. This cut, consisting of the drumstick and thigh, is a staple in dishes ranging from Southern fried chicken to Asian roasted recipes and Mediterranean grills. The skin, when cooked, becomes crispy and adds a layer of indulgence. Nutritionally, chicken legs provide high-quality protein essential for muscle repair and growth. They also contain vitamins such as B6 and niacin, supporting energy metabolism and brain function, along with important minerals like phosphorus and selenium. However, the skin is high in fat, particularly saturated fat, which may contribute to heart health concerns if consumed in excess. For a lighter option, removing the skin reduces calorie and fat content while retaining the protein benefits. Whether baked, grilled, or braised, chicken legs with skin combine taste and nutrition in a satisfying way.
