It is no secret that white poultry meat contains a minimum amount of fat. Specialists refer to the breast as the healthiest part of the chicken carcass. Thighs and shanks can also be eaten, but it is better to choose lunch time for them, and for dinner eat meat with a low fat content, that is, breast.
If you remove the skin from the thighs, they will still contain a lot of fat and cholesterol
