The diet of many people in Spain has some main ingredients as eggs, potatoes, milk or the chickenamong others. The latter is one of the cheapest and healthiest types of meat, so it is not usually missing in the shopping basket of all types of homes.
In addition, chicken is a food that uses almost all parts, such as breasts, wings, thighs or even its bones. Also It is very versatile when it comes to cooking it since it can be grilled, stewed, fried, battered, boiled, stuffed, to make broth and a long etcetera.
Precisely its popularity is something that can also play against what is known about it, since there are preconceived ideas and even myths about chicken that are not entirely true. To refute these ideas or reaffirm others, nutritionist Pablo Ojeda, popular on social networks and in different media, has given some keys about this bird.
He has done it on the ‘Las Mañanas’ program on Kiss FM, where he usually participates as a collaborator, spreading the word. nutrition information that may be of general interest. Thus, we tell you several of the facts that have been revealed about chicken.
Is yellow chicken better?
The first of them is the one denies that chicken that has a more yellowish color is healthier: “They charge you 5 euros more but they have simply given it corn,” he says to dispel the myth that this appearance usually gives consumers the idea that it is more natural or healthy.
Is it healthy to eat chicken skin?
On the other hand, he also denies that eating chicken skin is something bad or that it makes you very fat: “You can eat it perfectly. Besides, it is an area that has a lot of protein“, which has a good amount of fat, but does not have many more calories than chicken, about 50-70 calories,” he says to the astonishment of the rest of the radio program’s colleagues.
What you should never do with chicken
Finally, it gives some key information on how to cook chicken. He begins by explaining that many people wash chicken before cooking it, under the tap and then drying it with a cloth. This last step would be the worst, since it states that Poultry meat has a greater tendency to have bacteria and these can be spread with the cloth that we have passed on to the raw chicken.if we then use it to clean the sink, the countertop, the table or other elements. These bacteria could be the cause of those stomach pains that we cannot identify where they come from, according to Ojeda.
In the comments of the video there are users who defend that they wash it and then dry it with a paper cloth, to which the nutritionist affirms that this paper should be thrown away immediately so that cross contamination does not occur. Other comments, however, indicate that passing the chicken under the tap is also a bad thing since those bacteria could spread with the water.
