About Chicken skins

Chicken skins, a crispy and flavorful treat, are the outer layer of poultry that can be prepared in various ways, such as frying, roasting, or grilling. Popular in cuisines around the world, including Southern U.S., Asian, and Eastern European cooking, they offer rich, savory flavor and a satisfying crunch. Chicken skins are primarily composed of fats and proteins, making them calorie-dense but low in carbohydrates. While they contain nutrients like collagen and small amounts of vitamins, their high fat content — particularly saturated fat — can raise cholesterol levels when consumed in excess. However, they can also fit into ketogenic or low-carb diets when enjoyed in moderation. Often seasoned with spices or paired with dips, chicken skins are a versatile snack or garnish, though they should be balanced with other nutrient-rich foods for a healthier diet.
