What is all that Gunge then in the bottom of the roasting tin ?
Is it healthy to eat or not ?

its healthy if you put it on a rack so its not in its own juices and the skin is not on it.

no but it makes your boobs grow bigger :)

That is fat that cooked out of the chicken. Do not eat it.

l am not sure about healthy, well actually l am. It is not healthy, because that is the fat and other stuff. l will tell you it sure is good though. Some good French bread and just sop it up. UMUMMMMM good!!!

The skin has all the fat peel off the skin before eating it and you will get rid of most of the fat.

if it is chicken with the skin on, that ''gunge'' is the fat! - not healthy to eat.

It depends how you cook it.

If it sits in its' own fat it is not lean.

Broiking ( where fat drips off) or boiling is the leanest way. ( Always take the skin off.)

Thats right, you have to peel the skin off the chicken first. Boneless, skinless chicken, that is grilled, not fried, is healthy to eat.

Well, when you roast a whole bird, yes, theres plenty of fat. When you just roast chicken parts like thighs or legs, remove the skin and cut way down on the fat. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts are the lowest in fat of any chicken piece.

Chicken flesh is relatively low in fat but the skin is not. The best way to enjoy chicken and not worry about the waistline is to buy it skinless.

That also applies to most meat. The skin has the fat layer attached to it therefore is the unhealthiest part. Just think of the days when your mother would cook pork with crackling. The crackling always has a 1/4 inch layer of fat attached to it. Unfortunately, the crackling is the best part! LOL!!!
