About Dark meat chicken with skin
Dark meat chicken with skin comes from the thighs and drumsticks of the bird, known for being juicier, more flavorful, and higher in fat compared to white meat. The skin adds richness but also increases calorie and fat content. Popular in global cuisines such as Southern American fried chicken, Middle Eastern shawarma, or Southeast Asian curries, dark meat is celebrated for its tender texture and ability to stay moist during cooking. Nutritionally, it’s a good source of protein, iron, and zinc, supporting muscle growth and immune function. However, the added fat—especially when the skin is left on—can increase saturated fat intake, so moderating portion sizes is key. For a healthier option, trim excess skin or bake instead of frying. Its deep flavor and versatility make it a staple in both everyday meals and indulgent dishes worldwide.
