Chicken Thigh
Good nutritional profile
Skinless, boneless chicken thigh (dark meat), values for raw meat.
Chicken thigh is dark meat, slightly fattier than breast, used in roasts, curries, stews and on the grill. A 150 g raw portion without skin gives about 30 g of protein and 6 g of fat, and is high in niacin, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, selenium and zinc. The skin, not included here, more than triples the fat, and the meat loses roughly a quarter of its weight when cooked.
