Skin or skinless chicken?

Whenever I go to fresh market, I will always request the skin to be removed.  No doubt, skin makes the chicken taste better.  Removing the skin is to just to help me to reduce the temptation to eat them. If you are concern about your cholesterol intake, take a look at the difference between chicken parts with and without skin.

Cholesterol content in Kampung Chicken:
Drumstick (Weight: 91g)
with skin: 64mg                without skin: 39mg
Thigh ( Weight: 210g)
with skin:108mg               without skin:30mg
Backbone (Weight: 125g)
with skin:25mg                 without skin:8mg
Wings (Weight: 127g)
with skin:85mg

Cholesterol content in ordinary Chicken:
Thigh (Weight:175g)
with skin:101mg
Tail portion (Weight:16g)
1 whole:25mg    


Summary: 
You can easily reduce your cholesterol intake as much as 50-75% just by removing the skin.  Easy, isn't it?

Which part of chicken to choose?

People always like to ask me this question.   Honestly, I love the ribs and chicken wings. Hahaha.   When I compare the nutrient contents for the different parts of chicken, I will prefer to use household measurement rather than 100g.  Coz, nobody will eat 200g of wings, right?

Nutrients contents:
Chicken breast meat:
Weight:132g (1 piece)
Calories: 198kcal
Fat:10.2g
Protein:24.2g
Carbohydrate:2.4g


Chicken thigh:
Weight:125g (1 small)
Calories: 215kcal
Fat:16.5g
Protein:16.6g
Carbohydrate:1.2g

Chicken wings:
Weight:170g (2 small)
Calories: 172kcal
Fat:13.2g
Protein:13g
Carbohydrate:0g

Chicken feets:
Weight:154g (10 feets, deboned)
Calories: 178kcal
Fat:9.8g
Protein:22.6g
Carbohydrate:0g

Summary:
If I am to compare per 100g, then chicken wings and thigh are higher in fats which is two times the breast meat. Breast meat has the lowest calories of all other parts. So, make your wise choice.
