About Dark chicken
Dark chicken meat refers to the parts of the chicken found in the legs and thighs. Known for its richer flavor and tender texture, dark meat is higher in fat and calorie content than leaner white meat. Commonly used in cuisines worldwide, including Asian, Mediterranean, and Southern American dishes, it absorbs marinades and spices exceptionally well, making it a popular choice for grilling, braising, and roasting. Nutritionally, dark meat provides essential vitamins and minerals like B vitamins, iron, and zinc, which support energy production and immune health. However, its higher fat content, particularly saturated fat, can be a concern if consumed in excess. Choosing skinless dark chicken or preparing it with minimal added oil can help make it a healthier option while retaining its bold taste.
