Chicken Skin
Chicken Skin is the fatty outer layer of poultry commonly left on or trimmed from chicken for roasting, frying or rendering into cracklings; it’s prized for crisp texture and rich flavor in many cuisines. It is energy-dense and high in fat, providing about 40.7g of fat per 100 g. While it contributes mouthfeel and some monounsaturated fats and trace selenium, it is also relatively high in saturated fat and is best used sparingly or swapped for leaner cuts or measured cooking oils when aiming for a lower‑fat meal.
