Chicken satay, takeaway

Chicken satay is a prepared chicken dish, usually served with a peanut-based sauce. The figures here describe the takeaway form. It mainly provides protein and fat, with smaller amounts of carbohydrate and fibre. Per 100g, it contains 22g of protein, 10g of fat, 3g of saturated fat and 1.5g of salt.

Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues, including muscle. The salt and saturated fat content are worth noting for people monitoring their intake. Takeaway recipes and the amount of sauce served can vary, so the nutrient content may differ between outlets. Satay sauce commonly contains peanuts, which is relevant to people with a peanut allergy.
