Fat in ChickenThe table below shows how much fat in fresh chicken from different parts prepared using various cooking methods. The fat content is calculated for 100 grams ( 3.5 ounces ). An average chicken portion is usually about 150 grams however portion size will vary between individuals.
Chicken breast is the leanest part of a fresh chicken but in the table it shows chicken fat is lower in chicken legs, this is simply because the bone was included on weighing. In reality a bone is often present in the leg and the bone may make up 30% of the weight. In fact a chicken leg contains more fat than the breast for meat only.
The chicken fat in the darker meat is slightly higher in fat however it is rich in iron. The chicken fat from the skin is very high so it should be removed to lower the fat content if you want to lose weight. Compare Chicken Fat to Fat in fish
