Are chicken thighs the fattest part of chicken?

That's a common misconception! While chicken thighs are known for their flavor and juiciness, they are not the fattest part of the chicken.

Here's the breakdown:

* Chicken skin: The skin of the chicken, regardless of the part, holds the most fat.

* Chicken legs: The legs (thighs and drumsticks combined) are typically the fattiest parts of the chicken.

* Chicken breasts: While chicken breasts can have some fat, they are generally leaner than thighs.

So, chicken legs are considered the fattiest part of the chicken, not thighs.
