Roasted chicken is a classic dish enjoyed worldwide, rooted in versatile culinary traditions, from European to Middle Eastern cuisines. Prepared by seasoning a whole chicken or cuts with herbs, spices, and oil, it is then roasted to golden perfection. Rich in lean protein, roasted chicken aids muscle development and promotes satiety, making it a valuable addition to weight-management diets. It is also a good source of vitamins and minerals, including niacin, B6, and selenium, essential for energy production and immune support. However, health benefits can depend on preparation methods—excessive use of butter, skin-on portions, or heavy sauces may increase saturated fat and calorie content. Opting for skinless cuts and using heart-healthy oils can enhance its nutritional profile. Served alongside vegetables or whole grains, roasted chicken is a wholesome, flavorful choice suitable for many dietary lifestyles.
