About Chicken skin
Chicken skin is the outer layer of a chicken, primarily composed of fat, protein, and connective tissue. Known for its crispy texture when cooked and its rich, savory flavor, chicken skin is a staple in various cuisines worldwide. From fried chicken in Southern U.S. cooking to yakitori in Japanese cuisine, it adds a satisfying crunch and depth to dishes. Nutritionally, chicken skin is high in fat, including both saturated and unsaturated fats, which can contribute to energy while also aiding in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. However, its calorie density and higher cholesterol levels mean it’s best consumed in moderation, especially for those managing cardiovascular health. If prepared without excessive additional oil, it can be a flavorful indulgence without overwhelming impacts, offering a source of protein alongside its fats.
