About Dark chicken meat with skin
Dark chicken meat with skin, known for its rich flavor and tender texture, comes from the thighs and legs of the bird. Popular in global cuisines ranging from Southern-style fried chicken to Asian stir-fries, this cut is prized for its juiciness and depth of taste. Dark meat contains more fat than white meat, lending it robust flavor but also higher calorie content. The skin adds additional fat, primarily as saturated fat, making it less ideal for those watching cholesterol or limiting calorie intake. However, the meat is an excellent source of protein, B vitamins such as niacin and B6, and important minerals like phosphorus. When prepared without excessive frying or sugary marinades, dark chicken meat in moderation can be part of a balanced diet. For healthier options, consider removing the skin and using cooking methods like grilling, baking, or stewing.
