About Grilled chicken leg with skin
Grilled chicken leg with skin is a flavorful, protein-rich dish popular in many cuisines worldwide, including American barbecue, Mediterranean, and Asian traditions. This cut features tender dark meat, known for its juicy texture and rich taste, enhanced by the crispy, golden-brown skin achieved through grilling. High in protein, it supports muscle growth and repair, while essential vitamins and minerals like B vitamins, phosphorus, and selenium promote overall health. However, the skin contains higher levels of fat, including saturated fat, which contributes to its savory flavor but should be consumed in moderation for heart health. Grilling, a cooking method that reduces added oils, makes this dish relatively lean and nutritious compared to fried alternatives. Pairing it with fresh vegetables or whole grains can help balance its nutritional profile, creating a satisfying meal rooted in global culinary traditions.
