Chicken is an excellent source of protein, and its fat is not bad for you. The days of skinless chicken are over! That skin provides some healthy fat and keeps the meat flavorful and moist. Though many people prefer white meat, dark meat has more iron, so look for legs if you want to add more iron to your diet.
Grass-fed, free range or organic chickens are the best, as they are higher quality and more humanely treated than generic supermarket chickens. The meat should be plump and firm to the touch, with undamaged skin. Fresh chicken should be kept in the coldest part of your refrigerator and used within two days. Fresh chicken can be frozen for up to two months.
