Today, chicken can safely be called one of the most popular meat products.
As Yulia Arkhipova, an expert at the online publication BelNovosti, explains, this is partly due to the fact that this type of meat can be boiled, fried, stewed and baked.
Accordingly, the range of dishes that can be prepared from chicken is striking in its magnificence: soups, main courses, appetizers, salads, sandwiches and much more.
Our preferences vary: some people like the wings of their chicken, some are crazy about the breast, while others prefer to eat only the drumsticks.
With all this, it is worth remembering that not all parts of the bird are useful. Some of them are recommended to be limited in consumption or completely excluded from the diet.
The most harmful part of chicken
Chicken skin deserves this “title” because it contains dangerous chlorine compounds – this substance is used to treat poultry by both some manufacturers and some stores in order to give the bird an attractive appearance.
Additionally, care should be taken with the chicken's internal organs, including giblets.
The lungs of poultry may contain listeria (bacteria) that are resistant to heat treatment. Quite a large number of bacteria are also found in the tail.
Moreover, you should not overeat the wings, since their preparation usually involves a large amount of fat and spices, which accelerates the aging of the body.
The healthiest part of chicken
If you are now wondering what you can eat in chicken, here is the answer - the most useful part of the chicken is the skinless breast.
