Chicken, whole, roasted, meat and skin, weighed with bone

This entry describes whole roasted chicken, including the meat and skin, weighed with the bone. It mainly provides protein and fat. Per 100g weighed with bone, it contains 17g of protein, 7.9g of fat, including 2.2g of saturated fat, and 575 kJ of energy. These figures are not directly equivalent to values for the same weight of boneless chicken meat.

Protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues. Chicken skin contributes to the fat content, so whether the skin is eaten is relevant when considering fat, saturated fat and energy intake. Added salt, seasonings and sauces can change the nutritional content of a meal. Full nutrient figures are given in the tables below.
