About Chicken, broilers or fryers, thigh, meat only, cooked, roasted
This dark meat cut from poultry is known for its rich flavor and tender texture. It's a good source of high-quality protein, providing about 25 grams per 100-gram serving. The meat is also rich in essential nutrients like niacin, selenium, and vitamin B6, which support energy metabolism and immune function. While it contains more fat than the breast portion—around 8 grams per 100 grams—much of this is unsaturated fat, which can be part of a balanced diet when consumed in moderation.
In the kitchen, this cut is highly versatile and works well in a variety of dishes. Roasting is a popular method that brings out its natural juiciness, but it's also excellent grilled, braised, or added to soups and stews. Its robust flavor pairs well with bold seasonings and marinades, making it a favorite in cuisines ranging from Mediterranean to Asian. Whether served as a main dish or incorporated into salads and casseroles, it offers a satisfying and nutrient-dense option for meals.
