What is how much protein in a whole chicken?

Here's information on the protein content of a whole chicken:

A whole chicken, including the bones and skin, contains a significant amount of protein. The exact amount varies depending on the size of the chicken, but generally, a cooked whole chicken (about 3 pounds) yields approximately 200-250 grams of protein.

Here's a breakdown by portion:

• Chicken Breast: This is the leanest part and highest in protein. A single cooked chicken breast (about 3-4 ounces) contains roughly 30-40 grams of protein. Chicken%20Breast
• Chicken Thigh: While slightly higher in fat than the breast, the thigh still provides a good source of protein. A cooked chicken thigh (about 3 ounces) contains approximately 25-30 grams of protein. Chicken%20Thigh
• Chicken Drumstick: A cooked chicken drumstick offers around 15-20 grams of protein. Chicken%20Drumstick
• Chicken Wings: Chicken wings contain a moderate amount of protein, but the proportion of skin and bone relative to meat is higher. One cooked chicken wing contains approximately 6-8 grams of protein. Chicken%20Wings

Keep in mind that these values are estimates, and the specific protein content can vary slightly. The way the chicken is cooked (e.g., roasted, grilled, boiled) can affect moisture content and potentially impact the reported protein per weight but not the overall protein amount. Also, removing the skin reduces the overall fat content, not the protein. Protein is a vital nutrient necessary for building and repairing tissues.
