Chicken, leg quarter, casseroled, meat and skin

Chicken leg quarter, casseroled, refers here to cooked chicken meat with the skin included. It provides mainly protein and fat, with 23g of protein and 14g of fat per 100g. This includes 3.8g of saturated fat, and the energy content is 904 kJ per 100g. The figures describe the meat and skin rather than a complete casserole with sauce or other ingredients.

Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues, including muscle. The skin contributes to the fat content, which is worth noting for people monitoring their energy or saturated fat intake. Salt in a prepared casserole will also depend on added ingredients, such as stock or sauces. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
