What you can do about it
This doesn’t mean you have to remove chicken from your diet entirely. To make it healthier, you can cut out the skin or remove it after you’ve cooked the bird, since some believe that keeping the skin on can maximize flavor or moisture in your chicken meat.
And if you do decide to eat chicken skin, it can increase your protein intake. However, if you want to make your meal as healthy as possible and keep your cholesterol levels in line, you may want to cut this part of the chicken carcass out of your diet.
