Quarter of a chicken typically refers to one portion of a whole chicken, often comprising either the leg quarter (including the drumstick and thigh) or the breast quarter (including the breast and wing). This versatile cut is popular in many global cuisines, from American barbecue to Mediterranean spice rubs and Asian marinades. Chicken is a rich source of lean protein, essential for muscle growth and repair, and provides vital nutrients like B vitamins and phosphorus. White meat, such as the breast, is generally lower in fat than dark meat, found in the leg and thigh. However, preparation methods matter; grilled or baked chicken retains nutritional value without excessive calories, while fried or heavily sauced versions may add saturated fats and sodium. When consumed in moderation and prepared healthily, a quarter chicken can be part of a balanced diet, offering both flavor and nourishment.
