Chicken, whole, corn-fed, raw, meat and skin, weighed with bone

This entry describes raw, whole corn-fed chicken, including meat and skin, weighed with the bone. It mainly provides protein and fat. Per 100g weighed with bone, it contains 12g of protein and 10g of fat, including 3g of saturated fat, and provides 589 kJ of energy. These figures are not directly comparable with values for boneless chicken meat.

Protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues. The skin contributes to the fat content, which is relevant when considering energy and saturated fat intake. Cooking changes the water content and can alter the nutrient amounts per weight. Raw chicken should be handled carefully and cooked thoroughly before eating.
