Calories in Chicken

How many calories in chicken? Each of the different cuts of chicken vary in their calorie count. Additionally, the amount of calories will also depend on how the chicken is cooked. When cooking portions of chicken, consider removing the skin prior to cooking. Additionally, free range and organic chickens will generally have less fat.

The recommended ways for low calorie cooking are stewing chicken, chicken from the rotisserie, and roasting chicken. Refrain from frying chicken where possible.

The leanest part of the chicken is chicken breast which is why chicken breast calories are the lowest; not surprisingly the calories in fried chicken are the highest. Also, the dark meat is higher in calories but it is a good source of iron.
