Chicken, dark meat, raw

Chicken dark meat is the meat from the legs and thighs. These figures describe raw meat, based on fresh and frozen samples. It mainly provides protein, with some fat, alongside B vitamins and minerals. Per 100g, it contains 21g of protein and 2.8g of fat, including 0.8g of saturated fat, and provides 459 kJ of energy.

Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues. Chicken dark meat also contains vitamin B12, which contributes to normal nerve function and red blood cell formation. Cooking changes the water content, so values for cooked meat may differ. Added oil, sauces or seasoning can also change the fat and salt content. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
