About Grilled chicken thigh with skin

Grilled chicken thighs with skin are a flavorful protein option popular in cuisines worldwide, including American barbecue, Mediterranean, and Asian cuisine. The chicken thigh, known for its juicy texture, is rich in essential nutrients like protein, iron, and zinc, supporting muscle growth and immune system function. Leaving the skin on during grilling enhances its flavor and provides a crispy, golden exterior, while adding fat content. The dish is a good source of monounsaturated and saturated fats, which offer energy but should be consumed in moderation for heart health. When grilled, it avoids the added oils present in fried preparations, making it a slightly healthier choice. However, consuming chicken thighs with skin increases calorie and fat intake compared to skinless options. Pair it with vegetables or whole grains for a balanced meal and enjoy its versatility in global cuisines.
