Chicken is a food ingredient commonly used in both home-cooked meals and banquets for family and friends. Different parts of chicken vary in mouthfeel and nutritional value. Chicken is rich in protein and unsaturated fatty acids, but it is important to note that chicken skin is high in fat, and skinless chicken is healthier.
In this episode, the “Food Fanatics” take us to a local farm to see different kinds of local chickens and newborn chicks. The chef host Andy Dark goes to great lengths to put a new spin on this everyday food ingredient, and invited the gourmet Helen TAM and Chinese medicine practitioner Dr CHAN Kam-wa to try out the dish and talk about ways to enjoy chicken.
