Skinless Chicken Thigh is a high-protein food: 57% of its calories come from protein.
Calculated with 4 kcal per gram of protein and carbohydrate and 9 kcal per gram of fat, so the total can differ slightly from the listed calories.
Chicken thigh is dark meat: juicier and more forgiving to cook than breast, with more fat. Cooked and skinless, it provides about 24 g of protein and 8 g of fat per 100 g, and it suits curries, tandoori marinades and the grill. Leaving the skin on adds noticeably more fat, so removing it before cooking keeps thighs close to these values.
Typical portion: A boneless, skinless thigh typically weighs about 70–90 g once cooked, which works out to roughly 125–160 kcal.
Also known as: chicken thigh, boneless chicken thigh, chicken thigh meat, skinless thigh, dark meat chicken
