About Chicken, broilers or fryers, dark meat, meat and skin, cooked, roasted
Roasted dark meat chicken with skin on is a naturally juicy preparation because the thigh and drumstick muscles contain more intramuscular fat than breast meat. The skin renders during roasting and keeps the meat moist. Fat content ends up moderate to high, protein is solid, and carbohydrates are essentially absent. This is the cut that many roast chicken enthusiasts actually prefer, arguing that the extra fat translates directly into better flavor and texture than white meat offers.
