Chicken also provides a useful contribution to omega-3 intakes and skinless whole chicken is lower in kilojoules than diced lean beef and lamb.
The Lilydale chicken range includes a number of premium chicken cuts including whole chicken, thigh fillet, breast fillet, drumsticks and premium breast stir fry strips.
Different cuts of chicken have different levels of key nutrients and as a result, most groups in the population would benefit from consuming a variety of chicken cuts. Of note is that lean whole chicken, breast, thigh, wing and drumstick contain a similar kilojoule level making all cuts of lean chicken suitable for inclusion in the diet of those watching their weight.
Chicken is best served as part of a balanced diet that also includes plenty of vegetables, moderate amounts of fruit, wholegrains, low fat dairy foods, other lean meats and alternatives and small amounts of healthy fats and oils.
Skinless chicken drumsticks are particularly suitable for young children (4-8 years) due to the ease of eating with the fingers. Compared to other cuts of chicken, drumsticks are the highest in omega 3, zinc, thiamine and biotin.
Teenagers will benefit from eating skinless drumsticks, thighs and breasts which contribute important nutrients that are commonly low in the diet of adolescents such as magnesium, phosphorus, zinc and vitamin E.
For expectant mums, a 100g serve of whole skinless chicken is excellent for providing protein, selenium and vitamins B3 and B6.
A 100g serve of skinless drumstick, thigh or whole chicken also provides 100% or more of the increased requirement for omega-3 during this time.
Older Australians, who are more at risk of a number of nutrient deficiencies, will benefit from eating a wide variety of chicken cuts.
Skinless chicken breast is highest in protein, vitamin E and vitamin B6 while chicken thigh is highest in iron and chicken drumstick is highest in zinc.
