Chicken, thighs, casseroled, meat and skin

These figures describe chicken thighs cooked in a casserole, including both the meat and skin. They refer to the chicken itself rather than a complete casserole with sauce or vegetables. It mainly provides protein and fat: per 100g, it contains 22g of protein and 16g of fat, including 4.4g of saturated fat. Its energy content is 969 kJ per 100g.

Protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues, including muscle. The skin contributes to the fat content, so these values are relevant when considering energy and saturated fat intake. Added salt, stock or sauces can change the salt content of a finished casserole. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
