About Chicken, broilers or fryers, back, meat and skin, cooked, fried, batter
This cut of poultry is a flavorful and indulgent option that combines both dark meat and skin, often enjoyed for its rich taste and crispy texture when prepared with a batter coating and fried. It provides a substantial amount of protein—about 22 grams per 100 grams—making it a good source for supporting muscle maintenance and repair. However, it also contains a significant amount of fat, with 21.9 grams per serving, largely from the skin, which contributes to its higher calorie count of 331 per 100 grams. The carbohydrate content is moderate at 10.3 grams, mainly from the batter used in frying. While it offers protein, the high fat and calorie content means it's best enjoyed in moderation, especially for those monitoring their intake of saturated fats or calories.
In cooking, this preparation is popular in comfort food dishes and casual dining, often served as a hearty main course alongside sides like mashed potatoes, coleslaw, or cornbread. The crispy coating and juicy meat make it a favorite for fried chicken recipes, whether as part of a family meal or a picnic spread. For a lighter approach, some may opt to bake or air-fry it with a lighter coating to reduce fat content while still enjoying the flavor. It's a versatile ingredient that can be seasoned in various ways, from classic Southern spices to global flavors like soy-ginger or spicy Cajun blends.
