Chicken with skin provides an excellent source of protein, along with essential nutrients such as vitamin B6 and niacin. However, it is important to consume it in moderation, as the skin adds extra calories and saturated fat. Opting for skinless chicken can be a healthier choice for those looking to reduce their fat intake.
Chicken with skin can potentially cause allergies, as the skin contains proteins that some individuals may be sensitive to. If you have allergies to poultry, it's best to consult with a healthcare professional before consuming chicken with skin.
