Chicken portions, battered, deep fried, takeaway

These are takeaway chicken portions coated in batter and cooked by deep frying. They mainly provide protein and fat, with some carbohydrate from the batter. Per 100g, they contain 25g of protein, 13g of fat, including 3.1g of saturated fat, and 1.2g of salt. The figures are based on samples from fast food chains.

Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues and helps maintain muscle. The batter and deep-frying process contribute to the fat and energy content. Salt and saturated fat are also worth noting for people monitoring their intake of these nutrients. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
