Roasted whole chicken, measured here as meat and skin together, provides mainly protein and fat. The figures represent a mixture of light meat, dark meat and skin from fresh and frozen chicken. Per 100g, it provides 26g of protein and 13g of fat, including 3.4g of saturated fat. It also supplies B vitamins and minerals, including phosphorus, potassium and selenium.
Protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues. Phosphorus helps maintain bones and teeth, while selenium supports normal immune function. The inclusion of skin is relevant when considering fat and energy intake; figures for chicken without skin will differ. Added salt, sauces or gravy can change the salt content of a meal. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
