Chicken, skin, raw

Chicken skin is the outer layer of a chicken, and the figures here describe it raw, rather than cooked. It mainly provides fat, with some protein. Per 100g, raw chicken skin contains 48g of fat, including 14g of saturated fat, and 9.7g of protein. Its energy content is 1953 kJ.

Fat provides energy and helps the body absorb fat-soluble vitamins, while protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues. The fat and saturated fat content is worth noting for people monitoring their energy or saturated fat intake. Cooking can change the nutrient content by altering water and fat levels. Raw chicken skin must be cooked thoroughly before eating. Full nutrient figures are shown in the tables below.
