Chicken is one of the most popular varieties of meat, eaten by people all over the world and incorporated into a wide variety of cuisines and dishes. Not only is chicken meat widely available at grocery stores and butcher shops, but it is also quite healthy for you and high in protein.

The healthiest cut of chicken is typically the breast meat, which has the highest ratio of protein to fat. And while the skin is often portrayed negatively as being fatty, chicken skin is actually high in collagen, which can help fight skin aging from within, while also contributing to muscle growth when eating a protein-rich diet and doing regular strength training.
