About Chicken, broilers or fryers, light meat, meat only, cooked, roasted
Roasted light-meat chicken without skin is one of the leanest cooked protein sources available. Fat is low, protein is high, and carbohydrates are zero. The straightforward profile makes it a default choice in calorie-conscious eating and high-protein diet plans. The challenge is keeping it moist during dry-heat cooking, since the absence of skin removes the primary basting mechanism. Brining before roasting or resting the meat properly after cooking both help retain juiciness.
