About Leg and thigh
The leg and thigh, often referred to as the dark meat of chicken, are flavorful cuts rich in essential nutrients. Popular in global cuisines, including American, Asian, and Mediterranean dishes, these cuts are prized for their tender texture and savory taste. Packed with protein, iron, and zinc, the leg and thigh support muscle health and boost immunity. They are also a good source of B vitamins like niacin and B6, which promote energy metabolism. However, the skin—which is high in fat—adds extra calories and saturated fat, making skinless options a healthier choice. When baked, grilled, or roasted instead of fried, the leg and thigh can be part of a balanced diet, offering both nutrition and satisfying flavor.
