Chicken, leg quarter, casseroled, meat and skin, weighed with bone

Chicken leg quarter is a cut of poultry containing thigh and drumstick. This entry describes casseroled chicken with both meat and skin, weighed with the bone included. It mainly provides protein and fat: per 100g as weighed, it contains 14g of protein and 8.8g of fat, including 2.4g of saturated fat. It provides 570 kJ of energy.

Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues. The skin contributes to the fat content, which is relevant when comparing foods for energy or saturated fat intake. Because the weight includes bone, these figures are not directly comparable with values for boneless chicken. Added salt, stock or sauces may change the nutritional content of a prepared casserole. Full figures are in the tables below.
