About Chicken, broilers or fryers, dark meat, meat and skin, raw
Raw dark-meat chicken with skin, covering thighs, drumsticks, and back portions, is notably higher in fat than raw light meat with skin. Dark muscle fibers contain more myoglobin and intramuscular fat, which translates to richer flavor and juicier results after cooking, but also a denser caloric profile. No carbohydrates are present in the raw state. This is the raw starting point for most braised chicken dishes, where the fat renders into the cooking liquid and enriches the sauce.
