Questions about chicken skin
Four questions chosen by the facts above, so every food answers differently.
How many calories are in a portion of chicken skin?
A typical portion (100 g cooked) gives 407 kcal. Per 100 g the figure is 407 kcal.
Is chicken skin a source of phosphorus?
It is a source of phosphorus: 130 mg per 100 g, 19 % of the NRV, which passes the 15 % threshold for “source of” but not the 30 % needed for “high in”.
Does cooking change the protein in chicken skin?
Yes. Per 100 g, protein goes from 9.7 g raw to 13.4 g as. Part of that is the vitamin or mineral itself changing, part is the change in water content.
Which vitamins and minerals does chicken skin have most of?
By share of the daily reference intake: phosphorus (130 mg, 19 %), vitamin D (0.0007 mg, 14 %) and zinc (1 mg, 10 %) per 100 g.
How these numbers were made
Every figure comes from the UK Composition of Foods Integrated Dataset (CoFID), 2021 edition, record 18-316, Chicken, skin, casseroled, 20 analysed samples, published by Public Health England under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Main data references: Meat, Poultry and Game Supplement, 1995. Values are per 100 g of the edible part; a portion is 100 g, 100 g cooked, the usual UK portion for poultry and game. Reference intakes follow Regulation (EU) 1169/2011 Annex XIII as retained in GB law; “source of”, “high in” and “low” follow Regulation (EC) 1924/2006, assessed per 100 g. Function lines are the authorised wording from the GB register of nutrition and health claims, credited to the nutrient. Energy is rounded to the whole kcal and kJ; other amounts to one decimal, or two below 1. A trace is shown as “trace” and never gets a figure or a badge; a nutrient never analysed is left off the page. We start from the dataset’s 2,887 records and keep 2,322: records weighed with bone, shell or skin, alcoholic drinks, infant foods, brand-named products, records with fewer than eight measured vitamins and minerals and near-identical variants are left out. Group context uses the 82 poultry and game kept from the dataset; a rank counts only the foods with a measured figure for that nutrient. Food images are illustrations from Ingredient Atlas, released under CC0; they show the food, not the measured sample, and where no illustration of the exact food exists the nearest one is shown (here: Whole Chicken). Checked 5 October 2026. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
