About Chicken thigh and leg
Chicken thighs and legs are flavorful cuts of poultry often found in cuisines worldwide, including American barbecue, Middle Eastern shawarma, and Asian stir-fries. These dark meat portions are rich in protein, supporting muscle growth and repair. They also provide essential nutrients, such as zinc, phosphorus, and B vitamins, which aid in energy production and immune function. Compared to chicken breast, thighs and legs have a higher fat content, contributing to their juiciness and robust flavor. While these fats include heart-healthy monounsaturated and polyunsaturated types, their skin-on versions can increase saturated fat and calorie intake. Opting for skinless or baked preparations can enhance their nutritional profile. Perfect for roasting, grilling, or braising, chicken thighs and legs are versatile and satisfying, making them a popular choice for comforting meals across cultures.
