So, does chicken have saturated fat? Yes, but barely. It’s mostly a lean athlete pretending to be a junk food. The skin is the troublemaker. And dark meat is a bit richer.
But honestly? Chicken is one of the smartest protein picks. Even the fattiest chicken is leaner than most other meats. Unless you deep-fry it in butter. Then it’s a disaster.
Eat the breast. Keep the skin for crunch. And if someone tells you chicken is “bad,” tell them to taste your schmaltz toast. They’ll change their tune. Bawk bawk.
