What it is
Chicken skins are the outer layer of a chicken, removed during processing. They are primarily composed of fat, with some protein, and contribute to the flavor and texture of dishes.
Why it's used
In packaged foods, chicken skins are used to add flavor, richness, and a desirable texture. They are often found in processed chicken products, such as frozen chicken patties, strips, and other prepared meals, to enhance the overall eating experience.
Health notes
Chicken skins are a food ingredient and not a food additive, so they are not subject to FDA approval in the same way as additives. They are naturally high in fat, including saturated fat. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend keeping saturated fat intake to less than 10% of daily calories. JECFA and EFSA typically evaluate food additives and have not specifically evaluated chicken skins.
Allergen info
Not a major allergen.
