Chinese Chicken has fat or protein?

I had this doubt for long. Why does chicken in chinese recipes tastes different from other cuisines. It is so tender. I am unable to decide if it is made of chicken breast or legs. Basically, I wanted to make sure that it doesn't compose of skin because it contains fat. Since I consume, I wanted to make sure that it contains more of protein and less of fat. Can anyone confirm.Chinese Chicken has fat or protein?


Chinese prefer to use chicken drumstick or chicken thigh to cook, cause the meat is more tender than chicken breast. If you want to make sure your chinese dishes to have skin, you can ask them to remove the skin when you are ordering.



To those idiot who still think that chinese eat cats, get a life. We chinese dont eat cat.
a little bit of both actually.

About the fats and protein, there is actually very little fats in the chicken meat itself there is a lot of protein. The skin is another thing. The top layer of the skin is healthy but turn the skin to the inside and you see this glittering oily layer, that is the fats. You can request for it to be get rid of. If you do it at home you can take away the fats yourself. Although the little bit of fats is not too bad, you can just eat it.

Not too often though...


Whenever you eat chicken your going to be eating both protein and some fat. The reason why some chinese chicken dishes taste different is all due to the seasoning and sauces. A lot of cantonese style sauces are oyster and soy based. Every culture has their own seasonings and sauces and your always going to be experiencing different tastes.
