About Half a chicken

Half a chicken is a versatile and flavorful protein option that typically includes both white and dark meat from one side of the bird. Commonly prepared through roasting, grilling, or baking, it features prominently in cuisines worldwide, from American barbecue to Mediterranean and Asian dishes. A 3.5-ounce portion of chicken is high in protein, providing essential nutrients like B vitamins, phosphorus, and selenium, which support energy, bone health, and immune function. White meat is lower in fat, while dark meat contains more iron and zinc. When prepared without excessive oil, breading, or added sugars, half a chicken can be a nutritious meal staple. However, the skin is high in calories and saturated fat, so removing it or choosing leaner cooking methods can make it a healthier choice. Serve with vegetables or whole grains for a balanced dish.
