What is it with skinless chicken! Why do people think it's better to cook the meat without the skin?
But what annoys me most is that this fad leads to unnecessary waste at the abattoir. If you are going to eat meat, you respect the whole animal, from nose to tail.
This exactly why my focus is on environmental nutrition rather than ‘academic’ nutritional advice. We have native breeds of cattle and sheep that can stay outside all year round, fertilising the soil and managing grassland habitats for biodiversity. This also produces high welfare meat that is nutritious and healthy. Eaten in small quantities with lots of plants/veggies is the perfect balance of macro and micronutrients.
oh yes, she always made the most scrummy chopped liver - my other grandmother (Nana) thought she was making a healthier version with sunflower oil. Sad to say she was wrong...
Well said!

I also use every bit of a whole chicken to make 2 main courses, soup and always roast the wings which I eat, skin included! DELICIOUS 💚
Hear hear! If we all ate chicken skin the world would be a happier, healthier place - sorry Tim!
My grandmother always had a big jar of chicken fat (aka schmaltz) she'd scraped off the soup and would use it in all her cooking. Delicious!
I was hoping you’d approve! Schmaltz - an absolute necessity for making chopped liver too.

I LOVE crispy chicken skin!!
Of course you do! It’s amazing stuff.
