IS EATING CHICKEN SKIN DANGEROUS TO HEALTH?

According to a Harvard University study in 2012, chicken contains few saturated fats and is rich in monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, both of which are beneficial and recommended for good cardiovascular health. However, it is important to avoid trans fats as they can contribute to high blood pressure or plaque buildup in the arteries.

“If as a source of fat we have to choose between a chicken with skin or some nuts, it is better to opt for the latter. But that does not mean that the skin of the chicken is bad,” argues the food technologist. In that sense, it is important to know how to cook chicken, since if it is poorly cooked you can have health problems (indigestion, poisoning, etc.). Therefore, follow these recommendations:

- Never leave the newly purchased chicken at room temperature. Refrigerate or freeze it as soon as possible.

- Wash your hands, the surface where you will prepare the chicken, utensils, cutting board and any other implements that come into contact with raw meat. Do it before and after you prepare it.

- Do not wash the chicken before cooking it. The benefit is that this practice increases the risk of contracting bacteria.

- Make sure the chicken is fully cooked. On the other hand, it should be soft, dry and white, never pink and greasy.

- Never mix raw chicken with cooked chicken and do not store cooked chicken in the refrigerator for more than 2 days. Take it into account.

- Finally, transport the cooked chicken in airtight containers and at temperatures below 6 degrees or above 60 degrees.
