💎 Key Nutrients
What the roasted chicken skin entry includes
The food described here is the edible skin only from broilers or fryers after roasting. It is not a nutrition value for a whole chicken, breast meat with skin, or a breaded fried-skin product. The reference amount is 100 g edible portion. Seasonings, sauces and oil added during a particular recipe can change the final plate, so they should be logged separately.
Calories, fat and protein per 100 g
The record lists 454 kcal, 40.68 g total fat, 11.42 g saturated fat, 20.36 g protein and 0 g carbohydrate per 100 g roasted skin. Total sugars, fiber and added sugars are also recorded as 0 g. Because the energy density is high, scaling the numbers to a weighed portion is useful: 25 g is one quarter of the listed calories and nutrients, before any sauce or side dish is added.
Minerals and vitamins recorded
Per 100 g, this entry records 65 mg sodium, 83 mg cholesterol, 1.51 mg iron, 14 mg calcium, 136 mg potassium, 78 mcg RAE vitamin A and 2.4 mcg vitamin K. The database reports no vitamin C and 0.2 mcg vitamin D for this entry. These values describe roasted skin itself and should not be generalized to every chicken cut or cooking method.
Portioning and safe handling
Roasted skin can be weighed as part of a meal, then combined with the nutrition of the meat and toppings. If it is prepared at home, keep raw poultry refrigerated, avoid cross-contamination and cook poultry thoroughly. USDA poultry guidance uses 165°F (74°C) as the safe internal temperature. Refrigerate leftovers promptly and reheat them according to local food-safety guidance; crispness does not indicate safety.
