About Chicken, skin (drumsticks and thighs), raw
Raw chicken skin from the leg quarters is essentially a slab of fat. The protein is minor, and the trace carbs barely register.

If fat is already well managed in the rest of a diet, leaving skin on during cooking and removing before eating is a reasonable middle ground.
