About Chicken, broilers or fryers, skin only, cooked, roasted
This popular poultry component is the skin of young chickens that have been broiled or fried, then roasted to achieve a crispy texture. With a calorie density of 454 per 100 grams, it's notably high in fat, containing 40.7 grams per serving, while providing a solid 20.4 grams of protein. It contains no carbohydrates or fiber, making it a purely protein and fat source. The skin is rich in collagen, which can support joint health, and contains fat-soluble vitamins like A and E, though its high saturated fat content means it should be enjoyed in moderation, especially for those monitoring cholesterol or heart health.
In culinary use, roasted chicken skin is prized for its crispy, savory flavor and is often served as a snack or garnish. It can be crumbled over salads, soups, or grain bowls for added texture and richness, or used as a crunchy topping for dishes like mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables. Some recipes incorporate it into stuffing or use it to wrap lean meats for added moisture during cooking. While delicious, its high fat content makes it best suited as an occasional treat rather than a dietary staple, particularly for those following low-fat or heart-healthy eating plans.
