The nutritional content of chicken varies greatly depending on the part./Photo = Clip Art Korea Chicken legs and wings are one of the chicken parts that people prefer. This is because it is oilier and chewier than other parts. In fact, thanks to this demand, chicken franchises are selling menus consisting only of wings and leg parts. However, taste is important, but if you care regarding your health, you need to choose the chicken part that suits you. Chicken has different nutritional content depending on the part. Introducing the nutritional content of each chicken part.
◇Wings, calories 324kcal per 100g… Not recommended for diet
Wings have less lean meat and higher fat content. According to the National Standard Food Composition Table of the Rural Development Administration, the cholesterol content of chicken wings (fried) amounts to 26% of the daily nutritional value per 100g. This part is not recommended for people who are dieting or obese. Since the calories amount to 324 kcal per 100g, avoid excessive intake. Wing meat is rich in collagen and has a rich savory taste. In particular, the area around the wing bones is rich in pectin, so boiling it in broth can maximize the umami flavor.
◇Legs, full of iron, suitable for growing children and teenagers
The legs are the most popular part. This area is very active and has a lot of muscle mass. The fat is distributed appropriately, boasting a unique chewy texture and elasticity. Surprisingly, the calories are also lower than chicken wings. The calories per 100g of chicken legs (fried) are 277kcal. The leg area is rich in iron, so it is good for growing children and teenagers. In addition to blood production, iron acts as an important nutrient in the activities of cells that divide rapidly, such as skin, hair, mucous membranes, and nails. Chicken legs can be cooked on their own and have a savory taste without adding additional seasoning.
◇Proximal, high in protein and low in fat… Excellent nutritional content
The proximal stomach of a chicken, also called the chicken gizzard, can be said to be a stomach made of muscle. Birds such as chickens do not have teeth, so they crush ingested grains or hard sand with their proximal teeth. It needs more exercise than the stomach of other animals, so its muscles are developed. The protein content of chicken gizzard is regarding 17g per 100g. It contains only 2.1g of fat, so it has high nutritional value. In addition to this, the root is rich in vitamin E. Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that prevents aging. The proximal part is composed of a thick muscle layer and a strong mucous membrane, so it can be tough, but if you prepare it well, it is a good part to eat.
◇Breast meat, perfect for a low-calorie diet
Breast meat is low in fat and consists mostly of muscle fiber protein. It is a part that is always included in low-calorie diet meals and is often eaten by athletes. It is also richer in essential amino acids, including methionine, than beef. However, if heated for a long time, the flesh shrinks and becomes hard, so it is best to cook it in moderation. It is good to eat as a cold vegetable, salad, or grilled skewer.
