About One chicken leg
One chicken leg, often comprising the thigh and drumstick, is a versatile protein-packed food found in many cuisines worldwide, from American BBQ to Indian curries. Rich in essential nutrients such as protein, B vitamins, phosphorus, and selenium, it supports muscle growth, energy production, and immune function. A roasted or grilled chicken leg (without added fats) typically contains around 180–250 calories. However, nutritional content varies based on preparation—fried or heavily seasoned versions can significantly increase calorie and sodium levels. Opt for skinless chicken legs to lower fat and cholesterol intake. Its robust flavor makes it a popular choice in high-protein diets or balanced meals. When paired with vegetables and whole grains, it contributes to a nutrient-dense, satisfying meal.
