Eat in Moderation
📊 Chicken Guide →

With 93.8mg/100g of purine, Chicken Skin Braised falls into the moderate category — fine occasionally, but not an everyday staple for gout. Among meats, purine levels vary significantly by cut — lean muscle cuts generally have less purine than fatty or organ cuts. Chicken Skin Braised falls at the mid end of that range. When preparing Chicken Skin Braised, boiling or stewing and discarding the cooking water can reduce purine content. Avoid charring or deep-frying, which add inflammatory compounds.
