About Chicken, broilers or fryers, back, meat only, cooked, roasted
This cut of poultry comes from the back portion of a broiler or fryer chicken, with the meat carefully separated from the bone and skin before cooking. When roasted, it develops a rich, savory flavor while retaining its tender texture. Nutritionally, it stands out as an excellent source of high-quality protein, providing about 28 grams per 100-gram serving, which supports muscle maintenance and repair. It's also naturally low in carbohydrates and contains no fiber, making it suitable for low-carb and ketogenic eating patterns. The fat content is moderate at around 13 grams per serving, with a mix of saturated and unsaturated fats that contribute to its satisfying taste and mouthfeel.
In the kitchen, this meat is versatile and can be incorporated into a variety of dishes. It works well in salads, wraps, and grain bowls for a protein boost, or can be shredded and added to soups, stews, and casseroles for extra richness. Because it's already cooked, it's a convenient option for quick meals—simply reheat gently to avoid drying it out. Its mild flavor also makes it a good candidate for marinating or seasoning with herbs and spices to suit different cuisines, from Mexican tacos to Asian stir-fries. For those mindful of fat intake, it's worth noting that removing the skin before cooking can further reduce the fat content while still delivering plenty of protein.
