Overview
A dark-meat poultry staple prized for its balance of moderate protein, juicy fat content, and deep flavor profile.
Food note
To optimize the macronutrient profile for everyday health Remove the skin prior to consumption Which instantly eliminates a vast majority of the saturated fat and calories. The inherent intramuscular fat ensures the meat remains tender even when subjected to high-heat grilling (Yakitori). Pair with fibrous vegetables to balance the meal's digestion rate.
Pros
- Juicy texture
- Rich in zinc

Cons
- Higher fat than breast meat
- Skin adds massive calories
