What it is
Roast chicken is chicken that has been cooked by dry heat, usually in an oven. It is a common way to prepare chicken for consumption, resulting in a flavorful and tender meat.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use roast chicken as a primary ingredient or flavoring in a variety of savory dishes. It is frequently found in frozen meals, appetizers, and poultry products, adding a familiar and satisfying chicken taste.
Health notes
Roast chicken is a source of protein and various nutrients. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) generally recognizes chicken as safe for consumption when properly handled and cooked. Concerns about foodborne illness are associated with undercooked chicken, not the roasting process itself when done correctly. International bodies like the WHO/FAO Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) have evaluated food safety aspects related to poultry.
Allergen info
Chicken is not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
