About Chicken, broilers or fryers, back, meat and skin, raw
Raw chicken back with meat and skin is one of the fattier cuts from a broiler, reflecting the high skin-to-meat ratio of that part of the bird. Protein content is lower than breast or thigh relative to the overall weight, and fat is high. The back is rarely eaten as a standalone piece but contributes enormous flavor to stocks and braises. When the fat renders during long cooking, the collagen-rich bones and cartilage produce a gelatinous, deeply savory liquid.
