About Roast chicken skin
Roast chicken skin is the savory, crisp layer that forms on the outside of chicken during roasting. Rich in flavor, it is highly prized in many cuisines, including American, European, and Asian cooking, often considered the highlight for its golden-brown, crunchy texture. It primarily contains fats, both unsaturated and saturated, along with small amounts of protein and essential vitamins like B6 and niacin. While its concentrated fat content provides energy and enhances flavor, the skin is relatively high in calories and cholesterol, making it a less ideal choice for those watching their heart health or weight. Roasting, as opposed to frying, minimizes added oils, making it a slightly healthier option. Eating chicken skin occasionally in moderation can be part of a balanced diet, but it’s best complemented by leaner cuts of meat and plenty of vegetables for a nutritious meal.
