About Chicken, skin (drumsticks and thighs), cooked, braised
Cooked skin from drumsticks and thighs is nearly all fat with very little protein and no carbs at all. Left on the bird during braising, it renders down and absorbs the cooking liquid while concentrating its own fat stores. Eating it in quantity tips the fat balance of any meal dramatically, though small amounts add texture and flavor. Nutritionally it functions more like a cooking fat than a protein source, so most dietary advice treats it as an occasional indulgence rather than a regular component.
