About Chicken thigh skin on
Chicken thigh with skin on is a flavorful and versatile cut of poultry enjoyed in cuisines worldwide. Known for its tender, juicy meat, the thigh is rich in protein, essential for muscle repair and growth. The skin, when cooked, adds a satisfying crispness and extra flavor but also increases the fat content, including both saturated and unsaturated fats. While this can make it calorie-dense, the unsaturated fats contribute to heart health when consumed in moderation. Popular in dishes ranging from American barbecue to Asian stir-fries and Mediterranean roasts, chicken thighs are prized for their ability to stay moist during cooking. They are also a good source of vitamins and minerals like iron, zinc, and B vitamins. For a healthier option, consider removing the skin before eating to reduce calorie and fat intake while still enjoying the richness this cut of chicken provides.
