About Skin chicken thighs

Skin-on chicken thighs are a flavorful and versatile cut of poultry popular across various cuisines, from American barbecue to Asian stir-fry dishes. These thighs come with the bone and skin intact, offering a juicy texture and rich taste when cooked. They contain protein, essential for muscle development and repair, as well as vitamins B6 and B12, which support energy metabolism and brain health. The accompanying skin adds a crispy texture when rendered and browned, but it is also high in saturated fat. While chicken thighs provide iron and zinc, which are important for immunity, the fat content in the skin should be moderated for those watching cholesterol levels or aiming for heart-healthy meals. Removing the skin can decrease fat content while still keeping the meat tender and flavorful for dishes like roasted chicken or curries.
