Corn-fed chicken dark meat is the meat from the legs and thighs of chickens fed a diet that includes maize. The figures here describe roasted dark meat only. Per 100g, it provides 24g of protein and 9.8g of fat, including 2.8g of saturated fat. It also contains 0.24g of salt.
Protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues, including muscle. This meat also provides niacin, which helps the body release energy from food. Its saturated fat content is worth noting for people monitoring their intake, while added salt, sauces or seasonings can increase the salt content of a meal.
