About Chicken quarter

A chicken quarter, consisting of the thigh and drumstick, is a versatile cut popular in many cuisines worldwide including American barbecue, Mediterranean, and Asian dishes. Rich in protein, it supports muscle growth and repair. Dark meat found in this cut is slightly higher in fat compared to chicken breast, but provides essential vitamins like B6 and B12, along with minerals such as zinc and selenium. Its flavorful fat content makes it ideal for roasting, grilling, or braising. However, if prepared with heavy breading or excessive oils, its calorie count and fat content can increase significantly. Removing the skin reduces fat intake while maintaining most of its nutritional benefits. A chicken quarter offers a good balance of macro- and micronutrients when consumed as part of a balanced diet, making it a satisfying and energizing choice whether carefully cooked for health-conscious meals or indulged in its richer preparations.
