About Chiken leg
Chicken leg, a popular cut of poultry, consists of the drumstick and thigh, offering tender, flavorful meat. Packed with protein, vitamins like B6 and B12, and minerals such as zinc and iron, it supports muscle growth, immune health, and energy production. The skin, often left on for extra flavor, contains fats that can be heart-healthy in moderation but also adds calories and saturated fat. Its versatility spans global cuisines, including Southern fried chicken, Indian tandoori, and Mediterranean roasted dishes. For a healthier option, opt for skinless chicken legs and bake, grill, or roast them instead of frying. Chicken leg is a nutrient-rich protein choice that fits well into a balanced diet when prepared thoughtfully.
